First Soccer Game

My 7 year old niece had her very first soccer game on Saturday. They only had one practice before the game. Considering that, they did pretty well... they were tied or ahead most of the game, but lost at the end, 7-5.

It was a lot of fun to watch and photograph. I definitely need a faster camera! My 5 year old niece insisted on getting photographed, too.

Soccer is a dangerous sport!


Molly, Lydia's best friend, is a soccer powerhouse


Taking a well-deserved break from the action

Carla was more interested in her book than the game

I love to watch kids play sports. :hi:

Carla and Lydia are just lovely!! Wow! (Yeah... I'm a sucker for kids.) I love watching kids that age play soccer ... it's awesome. What a terrific sport.
