Boo hoo - we had our last soccer game this past Saturday! What a beautiful season - not a single rain-out game. Our last game, and the Vipers smoked them like 10-0 (not that we keep score or anything, it's still considered non-competitive)! Go Vipers!
We weren't so sure about having to switch to a new team for the Fall after being on the same great soccer team for the last three seasons. We thought we couldn't be that lucky again to get a great coach and great group of boys... but we weren't wrong. We had the best time this season on the Vipers and Preston just beamed all season. Preston LOVES soccer! These boys are really starting to learn the game and PLAY it! It's an awesome thing to watch and cheer for all of them! And all the parents are great and so much fun - we all really get into it.
As you can see from the pictures of Preston - scoring a goal is pretty exciting stuff! The boys really worked as a team this season!
One funny (my eyes were watering I laughed so hard) story from Preston's last game. So it's the last quarter and Preston's running the ball down for a goal - and SCORE! Preston gets a great goal - whoo hoo!! We all cheered - go Preston. Anyway, then the ref, as they always do, put his hand straight out and pointed to the Vipers side of the field to signify "goal point"... you know, like in football - it makes it official when the ref calls it. Anyway, Preston was so excited running back from the goal that he saw the ref's hand out and immediately slapped him the biggest "High 5" you've ever seen! He totally thought the ref's hand was there for just that reason and Preston was ready to celebrate. It was the cutest and funniest thing ever! Erick and I were rolling. Preston is such a fun-loving and free-spirited kid - he could have fun anywhere and he celebrates life. We adore this about him and hope that he continues to be our family goofball!
And here's Preston with his coach, Coach Robert. He's one of the Dads of course, and he does a fantastic job coaching the boys. Thank you Coach Robert for all the work! And thanks for the great end of season party where the boys got their trophies, team pictures, ate pizza and played liked boys do on the playground!
We're looking forward to many more seasons of soccer, as long as Preston is up for it!
