RiLEy'S FiRsT SOcCeR GaMe!!!

I was cautiously optimistic going into this. It's our first attempt at a team sport, and our first attempt at real physical exercise. Dance, gymnastics & tennis were okay but Riley never really *loved* them. Being a runner and retired soccer player, I was hoping she would love it. She did pretty well but was tired of running pretty quickly. When they would call water breaks, Riley would yell, "SWEET!" and run off the field, sit down, drink her water & hug her brother. One thing looking at these pictures made me realize it my kids really love each other; they are always hugging! None of these are posed shots, I was just trying to document her first game and this is what I saw. She is still bummed that she isn't getting a locker (?!?!? - I don't know where this idea came from!).
