Fall soccer

The girls started fall soccer a few weeks ago. Technically it's Fall out here, but we're still in the 80's and sunny every day. Adelle loves to put on her gear and has a great time in practice. She just runs back and forth during the games, but it's good exercise. She's not really into scrapping with the other kids - she just loves the uniform.



Emily is doing much better this year. Her switch to an all-girls team has made a massive difference in her play. She's much more aggressive now that she doesn't have any 10 year-old Chrissy wanna-be's slide tackling at her knees. The girls are just as aggressive as the boys, but they have a much better sense of the rules and regulations. Emily teamed up with her good friend Saren on a goal last weekend. She had a shot, but passed to Saren for the uncontested goal. Bottom line - she's having a great time and getting good, consistent exercise.

We get down to 50 at night, but daytime is still perfect. Great soccer weather for the girls.
