One more thing

Sunday was a very busy day for us. Ben wanted to take the kids to Little League day at the ball park, Isabelle had her last soccer game finally and I had to go take pictures. Plus we still had family in town from the dance recital so it was crazy fun filled day. First the ball park! Any Little League team in the metroplex could come and walk around the field for the day and be down at the player’s level. It was pretty cool. I think Ben almost enjoyed it more than the kids; they are still a little too young to know the importance behind it yet. But we got lots of pictures of them going around. Barrett was told several times not to go near the dugouts, although I think they were being over cautious, because I did not think he was trying to check it out or go in. And he was told not to stand on the grass. That one was valid but at least he did not jet away, he was only two steps in on the grass if that far, I think he toes might have still been on the dirt. All in all it was pretty cool. Ben took a picture of Cooper and I that was not very good so I’m not going to include it here. You would think the one picture I ask him to take of me he would have tried a little harder to make it turn out well.


After we made our way around the field, Isabelle and I left to go to her last soccer game. She did great! I could hardly believe it. I kept asking myself where was this kid in the previous four games? Why is she just now showing off her true colors? Although I must stay that there were only five kids total on our field, several kids did not show up so there were not as many kids around to chase after the ball, but still she finally found her game again and was very excited about it. At the end all the kids received a participation trophy with a moving ball. Boy was that the hit, all the kids loved to play with the ball and spin it around. Then they took a big group picture, which was not as good as last time but hey, you work with what you can. I think she finally had a lot of fun.


Once Ben came home from the game I was off to take pictures for my class. That was pretty fun, I had a couple of hours away from all the kids and house work, now to determine if any of the pictures were any good. We’ll have to wait and see what the rest of the class thinks when we meet again. Hopefully this time my disk will work, I had trouble the last time and had to turn them in later.

That is a lot of kids playing soccer. Do they just take turns scrimmaging each other? The ball park sounded neat-what a cool thing to get to do!

The kids are all on teams of five and then they play 25-30 minute scrimmage usually 3 v3 3.
