The end and start of soccer

11/1—Josh and Andrew both had their last soccer games.  The weather was great soccer weather.  We really lucked out this season with the rain.  We only had one day of rainy games. 

Josh’s team played Forest Grove and had a hard loss.  Andrew’s team won.

After Andrew’s game, they had their end of the season party at a near by park.  Every brought food to share.  It was a feast!!

Go Jedi Knights!  This team was a great group of boys-most of who didn’t have a lot of experience with soccer.  The beginning of the season was rough and they lost several games in a row.  But half way through the season, something clicked, and they transformed into a winning team.

11/11—Josh had his soccer party at Del Taco.  Their team name was We Eat Tacos or WET for short, so a taco establishment was only appropriate. 

Many of these boys have been on Darrin’s team year after year.  It’s been fun to get to know them so well.

Great season Josh!  He turned into a great little player this season and gained quite the reputation.  I would hear parents from the other team yelling, “Watch out for the kid in the yellow socks!”  His speed, skills, and determination make him a great player!

And just when we thought we’d get a break from soccer, Andrew started playing a season of indoor soccer at the same place his dad plays.  The indoor soccer games are such high paced games that it’s even more intense watching those than normal outdoor ones!   Andrew scored 1 of his team’s 2 goals that night.

And so it begins again…
