Monkeying around

Soccer season is officially underway! We were out of town for the "Meet the Coach" day, which isn't a big deal for our kids. Todd is their coach :) Brett's been playing with the same group of kids (more or less) since he was 3, and Kate seems genuinely excited this year. Unfortunately, Brett's practice got rained out on Monday, but Kate's team got to have their first practice on Tuesday... meet the Monkeys!

Doing their stretches

Showing off her gymnastics flexibility!

They get to take turns suggesting an exercise

And, of course, they have to run!

Some dribbling and scoring drills

Brett really wanted to tag along, so Todd let him help out with the Kindergarten practice for a little bit

Working on defense... take the ball away, so Kate took the ball away, and now her teammate is mad and won't talk to her.  Girls.

Taking the ball from this kid too!

Lexi gives Kate a taste of her own game, and scores!

Working hard

And being goofy

Getting ready to scrimage the other team

Taking the ball away from the other team... it helps that she went to preschool with 2 of those boys.  No fear! 

Much needed water break :)

Gooooo monkeys!!  Oh oh ah ah eh eh!
