Soccer

Libby and Mary completed a successful soccer season on Saturday.  The season ran for three months of indoor soccer and over that time, both girls learned the game, improved and had lots of fun.  For Mary, it was her first time playing.  So it took her awhile to get used to how the game works.  But once she figured it all out, she enjoyed running around and kicking the ball.  Her favorite part, however, was the fact that she had her own special water bottle that she brought each week to use for water breaks.  She might be the kid whose favorite class in school is recess...

For Libby, this was her fourth go-round with soccer, but her first in over a year.  She did a great job.  She was a great teammate, always making sure to pass the ball and cheer for the other players when they scored.  Judging by what we've seen of her game, if her soccer career were to continue, she has a future on the defensive side of the ball.  Libby seems to have more fun trying to stop the other players from scoring than scoring herself.  She has even taken it upon herself to play goalie.

 

 

The best part of the whole season was on Saturday, as for the first time, Mary went to see Libby play.  Without being prompted, Mary vocally cheered on and encouraged her sister.  It was great to see her yelling and screaming FOR Libby instead of AT Libby.  Who knows, this sister thing might work out, after all!  And to put a bow on the season, Mom, Dad, Libby and Mary went to Bearden's for burgers and milkshakes!
