The Green Frogs and Golden Lions

It's soccer time! For the first few weeks the weather was awesome, almost too warm, now nice and rainy. Except not the nice part. Normally I don't mind the rain but to do soccer practice/games in the rain no fun. Even for us watchers.

These pictures are from both boys first games of the season. It was really tricky because they both had a game at the same time on the same field (it was a huge one broken up). How do people with multiple kids in multiple sports/activities do it? You just get it done I suppose.

 Max's team name was the Green Frogs, they are all very cute. He was nervous heading up to it to kick but he got it and was so proud of himself when he did. 
 
 When I thought about Max in soccer I thought he would be a lot more timid on the field than he actually was. He is didn't seem afraid of the people and ball as I thought and he got right in there and was pretty serious about the whole thing.
 Lately the boys have been very into Ninjago, basically Lego Ninjas, though I have tried to keep them reigned in a bit. But they like to put their ninjitzu skill to the test with they can. It is hilarious to see, especially on a soccer field.
 He totally went after it.
 Now for Mr. Levi and the Golden Lions.

Levi is now in the 6-8age group teams. He has gotten a lot better this year and while he still likes to run/skip he has a bit more determination and aggressiveness (in a good way) this time around. I think it's that all the other kids are a bit more serious about it which helps. 

This time around they had goalies and he got to be one.
 He even intercepted and blocked a number of times.
 He also showed off his Ninjago skillz on the field.
 I don't think their team won that day, it really is tricky getting to see both games at once, but I think there was only one goal made by the other team but Levi seemed happy regardless.
