Fall Soccer and a Cast

Both Brooklyn and Mackenzie had fun playing soccer this season. This was Brooklyn's first time and  I was happy that she wasn't timid about getting in there. At half time she would announce to her team "I have a plan. We need to distract the other team and then go score a goal!"

 
Above Brookie is trying to stop a goal. Below she is posing with her cousin Braden. Also on her team were Peter Gilbert, Henry Hyer, and Curtis Sutherland.

Above Talmage, Mackenzie and Char are "watching" the younger kids play.

Mackenzie had fun playing too; she played with Talmage and Paige. She played on the the team for 1st and 2nd graders. Some of these kids have played a lot. And can kick really hard. Like hard enough that if you're the goalie and a kid kicks it about 5 feet away and it bends your wrist back, it could fracture. But at least you could get a bright pink cast and your friends could all sign it. And at least you could get it off the day before you leave for Hawaii.
