Soccer Season is Open

And it opened with a bang. Megan was goalie and smoking, until she took a cleat to the leg. You could actually see the three marks in her leg. This is the first time I can remember where she actually was hurt bad enough to have to leave the game. I tell you the child can really take a hit, and she did all through this game. The bad thing is, that since she can take a big hit, the coach's sometimes forget to check and make sure she is ok. In this game she got kicked right above the knee, went down and then the ball came back at her so she hoped up and wasn't able to catch it. Poor kid could barely get off the field.




Did this end the game for her???


Nope, she went in as a forward and almost score two goals. She also got hit in the arm so hard you could see the stitch marks from the ball in her arm. By the end of the came she had 7 bruises (yes, you can bruise under your shin guards), swollen knee, red ball marks on her arm and a jammed finger. Just the beginning for her.


Jason's first game went a little slower. It was a lot hotter and the kids just where not into it. He got to be goalie this time. The first year the little guys get to have goalies. Megan stood behind the net and gave him pointers. No one scored off of him. Since it was so hot and the kids are used to playing in it, they basically just ran around. A couple of the older kids got into it. Here are a couple from his game.




We are getting ready for a quick visit with Steve's parents and sister next week. VBS starts next week too. I still have a bunch of projects to get done before Monday. This year I am doing Community Corner, which makes me very happy. Last year I did Bible stories and was told mine sucked. To quote my daughter. So, next week is going to be crazy but it should be fun.
