You know the summer is flying by when you have to say goodbye to soccer already!! Last night both big girls had their last games. Such an awesome night for 3 hours of soccer. 70 and sunny!
Margaux played first... still has yet to score her first goal but she sure has fun running around the field with her great friends & daddy as the coach! Her favorite warm-up game is the one pictured at the bottom where all the girls hang in the goal while the coaches scatter the balls around the field...when they say "go" the girls turn around & run to find their ball to bring it back to the goal.
She's very proud of her first trophy too!
 Maeve just runs around for hours while we're at the soccer fields. She's got her little friends as well & she definitely knows who to find that usually carries the snacks! Go figure.. she's our little eater!
I took this photo right before Marin pulled the ball out from underneath Maeve & she fell to the ground laughing! Maeve can not wait to be able to play soccer as well, she loves to run around on the field and play with daddy & the girls.
 Marin's team had a later game which is perfect because then we get to watch them all play. {It's not as easy to run back & forth trying to balance time when both teams play at the same time!}
She's become much better at soccer this year, although she's still so timid. Hopefully we can teach her some aggression for next season!!! Here she is with her bff Isabelle who plays on a different team. They make a point to find each other every Tues/Thurs. to get some silly time in before or after their games. Isabelle just broke her elbow a week ago, so she's become team cheerleader!
Here are the girls again, along with Marin & her friend Addie with their trophies as well.
Marin's favorite game is soccer "tag" when the "it" person gets the ball away from another player they become frozen. To unfreeze a player, another player must dribble their ball through the frozen players legs. It's fun to watch them all wait to be unfrozen & yell "come get me!"
Although soccer has made our summer nights a bit hectic at times, the girls will miss it. I am selfishly glad it's over so we can have some down time during the week & get some other things in before school starts in just over a month!!! Starting tonight.... Farmers Market!
