Tell Me Thursday - Soccer

My Wordless Wednesday picture was of Nate on the soccer field last weekend. He truly loves to play team sports, and it's been great to watch him develop over the years. He is competitive, but at the same time he's a great sport!

We have been so lucky with the Apache Junction city leagues for the past 5 years for baseball, flag football and soccer.  I have heard about competitive and crazy parents over the years, but we have never encountered anything like that!  Everyone, from the staff to the volunteer coaches to the other parents have been nothing but friendly, kind and helpful.  Some coaches have been more skill-focused than others, but they have all encouraged friendly team play and good sportsmanship.

Lydia can't wait to get out on the field herself, but until then, she's thrilled to cheer on her brothers.  She doesn't like missing any practice or game because she "has to yell him on when he kicks!"  She'll have another chance on Saturday ;)
