Soccer and Suckers

From August to February it seems our life revolves around soccer. Scott is an assistant coach for the APU women's team, which runs from August to the first of December. Overlapping with that, comes his high school team, which goes from November to February. It's all futbol all the time.... which has pretty much always been okay with me. I love to watch the games and learn more about the girls. It's definitely Scott's gift and passion, and I love to see him doing what he loves. We've enjoyed 11 years of marriage, and 11 years of lots of soccer.

But now... now, we throw 3 kiddos into the mix. I wasn't sure if I would ever get to actually watch another game for... let's say... another 11 years.

So, Friday we took the kids to the APU men's game. And just as I suspected, very little soccer was actually watched. However, the kids had a fantastic time! Many of the players from the women's team were there and did they ever entertain our three. Chasing, swinging, jumping.

Finally, we sat down for the last few minutes of the game to enjoy the yummy Disnyeland suckers the kids had been given.

Justin, Natalie, and Lexi were sweaty, sticky little messes by the time we got home. A sure sign of a super fun day!

So thanks to the APU gals for being so sweet to our little ones. I'll try to put in a good word for you to coach. All of that running around with our kids should definitely qualify you for a break at practice! ;)
