We signed Brooke up for outdoor soccer and the season went from April-June. Brooke's team was amazing! Four of the girls really got in there and had some serious soccer skills at only six years old! They were serious about the game, which was good for Brooke because they didn't want to mess around when she wanted to. They were really good examples for her. At the beginning of the season, Brooke was pretty timid and hung back. She'd get distracted by and zone out while the game passed her by. Then she slowly got the hang of things. By the end of the season, she was much more confident and wasn't afraid to go after the ball or get in the middle of the action. It helped that her coach was amazing! I know Shanalee from teaching together at the middle school and she was so positive with the girls.
Love her determined look as Brooke prepares for a corner kick:
At the last game, Shanalee gave each girl a treat bag, a soccer medal, and a certificate where she wrote about each girl's strengths. Brooke's certificate said she was the most improved, and I couldn't agree more.
Way to go Brooke!
Porter and Grant were great sports during soccer season. It's no wonder that after the games, Porter needed some attention:
And speaking of flying-- our library rocks! Every summer they provide an amazing summer reading program. This year's theme is "Every Hero has a Story" so the summer kick-off activity last week was making their own masks and shields.
Porter's mask is upside down, but he insisted that wearing it how he is was better.
