Go, Orange. . . GOOOOOOOAL!

Ah, our first soccer game. What an education for me -- but what fun for Drew! (Since Anika just had her school post I figured I better get an "Andrew post" in as well.) My pictures show lots of the orange team of course! The blue team was pretty dominate in the first half, but the boundless energy of the orange team pulled out a victory. Andrew was excited about his first win. His friends Jack & Anika are also on his team. Anika scored two goals.

The impatient "cheerleaders" (It was a long morning, since we had to be at the park at 8:15 for pictures and we didn't home until 10:45. Note to self: Bring snacks next time!!!!)

Andrew made the choice to be a defensive player. (He really disliked it when the other team scored a goal). Although this is "no goalie" league he hung back on his side of the field and was able to make a couple of saves. Once he took the ball down the field.
