Soccer afternoon

Today was so beautiful, sunny and warm! Ek said she was sure glad it was now summer. tee-hee. As we pulled up to Trinity to pick up Ek, I had my cell phone in my lap hoping to find friends to join us at the park, but we didn't have to make a call-- Cat and kids were there on the soccer field. I pulled over and asked if we could join them, and we did. It was so fun to watch the kids in an open field with a bunch of balls. The kids stuck to their appropriate partners as usual. Ek and Kardyn mostly ran, I don't know how much I actually saw Ek touch a ball, except maybe to look them over. H and Will ran with balls all over the field, they also lined them up and took inventory. H was very concerned that the babies kept the smallest ones and did not want anyone else to play with those. At one point though, H and Will came flying down the field toward the goal while dribbling the ball to shoot a goal, they are both quite the ball players. Maddy was adorable, she is so interested in the soccer ball, she is barely walking and yet was managing to tap the ball around with her feet. L was somewhat interested in the balls today, she wanted to make sure Maddy had one, but mostly she talked on my phone and gave hugs to Maddy and tried to keep up with the bigger ones at times. She was dressed in a sweet white dress with purple butterflies and she acted like it! And was quite distressed to see the condition of her black sunday shoes when we were leaving the field. giggle. Ek and Kardyn did race full sprint from goal to goal, Kardyn beat Ek pretty well and I think EK is pretty fast, Kardyn's stride is huge, she is going to be an awesome athlete. They had fun watching the big girls practice too, they were mesmerized at times. No pictures of the afternoon, hope this painted it though.
