1st Soccer Game

Heading to the game.
Uniforms a little big!
Daddy told Landon he has same # as Uncle Daniel.
Sadie warming up.  Landon wouldn't join her.
Team huddle. (Landon sporting the "David Beckham" look.)
Landon and Sadie had their first game bright and early this morning.  Yes, we made it on time!  It was not an easy task getting shoes, socks, and shin guards on two kids, plus keeping track of Duke.  He was being rather grumpy and not cooperating.  Looking forward to Daddy and Papaw Dewey being there next week to help!  Sadie had a blast and did a great job even though I don't think she ever touched the ball.  At least she stayed on the field.  She would start to wander off from time to time, but made her way back.  Landon on the other hand didn't enjoy it so much.  He ran off the field a few times crying and scared.  I think he was overwhelmed and didn't like the physical contact, plus it was extremely windy.  During warm ups the coach told him to dribble up and kick in the net.  Landon said, "But the ball is wet."  I did my best to pump him up and keep him excited, but it wore off quickly.  Hopefully next week will be better for him.
