Hunter was old enough for soccer this year. He was so excited to play. He had a good season and ended up scoring 3 goals throughout the season. The way they do soccer here, he played with the 6 and under kids and they play 3 Vs. 3 with no goalie on a very small field. The teams have 6 or 7 kids and they play 4- 8 minute quarters. It seemed to work pretty well and cut down on the amoeba effect where all the kids surround the ball and kick each other in the shins.
It was a cold April and May so most of the games were pretty chilly, but we still had fun. Hunter seemed to fall down a lot, but really tried to listen to his coach and seemed to have improved by the end of the season.
Note: the teams alternate between red and blue, so sometimes he is in blue and sometimes he is in red.

I managed to catch a goal on video, I didn't get any of the lead up to the goal but the celebration after is the best anyways!

How fun! I love watching little kids play soccer and that sounds like a great way to do it! Hope you are feeling well!
Great job Hunter!! He did great. Hope you are getting ready for the baby in the coming weeks. It was good to see you last week, thanks for coming to the shower.
Alyssa was so sad that she just missed the cut off for soccer! Any chance that they will have to induce you early again? It seems like you are normally having the baby...right....about...NOW!
How funny to see those pictures! My family owns all of the land around the park--white house is my grandma, tan with round windows my uncle, green my cousin, new brown stucco one is my parents--they used to live in the first grey one until they finished their new one in Nov.
Hunter is getting so big! Are you ready for a new baby?
