Yeah, I know it's a little blurry (sorry, new camera and I'm still getting used to it), but here's Nick taking the ball up the field.It was definitely a good game, as Nick's team played in the championship game today. They were down 0-1 at the half, and came back to score and were tied 1-1 at the end of regulation. Yep, you guessed it, it went to a shootout...like we didn't have enough drama with Elisabeth's team last week!!! We scored, they scored, we scored, they scored....on the last set of kicks, we missed, they scored....they won. It kind of peeves me that it ends in a shootout when you end a game in a tie. If you added another 10-15 minutes of play, it might end and then truly the best team wins....not just some kick that "luckily" gets past the goalie.
Oh well, I'm proud of both of my kids and how well they played this year, and with the class of having good sportsmanship too. I can't wait for the next season to start now! Elisabeth did so well this year compared to two years ago, when she was 3 going on 4...it was too much for her at the time. Go Bolt kids!!!

Elisabeth's team during their shootout last week. (I couldn't get the camera to work during the game...sorry!)
Here's Elisabeth's team at the pregame practice at Coach Jeff's house. (She's the one kneeling next to the goalie.) It was cold and windy, and it was great fun trying to spray purple sparkly stuff in their hair! heheWe have a bit of a sports break for a few months, (unless Nick decides to try out for the traveling team, but that might be a long shot....60 kids wanting on a 12 player team) I'm not sure what I'll do with my Saturdays now! (And having the evenings mostly open instead of going to practice!) British Soccer camp is in June, and then flag football and cheerleading starts up in July or August...it won't be "that" long!
