Saturday was unusual. Saturdays usually have no fewer than four soccer games. Usually in different cities. So we have had to divide and conquer. This last Saturday- we only had one game- for Kaleb. It is fun to watch Kaleb. He is a bit timid. He just kind of follows the ball around with his hands clasped in front of him. BUT- if the ball actually comes into contact with his feet or shin guards a light goes off inside of him and he takes off to score a goal. It is seriously like the cue to turn him on. Then, once the ball is in the goal his hands, like magnets, return together in front of him and he returns to acting docile. Too funny.
Kaleb is taking a break and getting some strategic advice from his Poppadopolis.
Kai- just being Kai- Super Cute!
Since we only had one game to attend we joined a Catholic sponsored shoot out. You had to kick the ball into certain areas in the net for points. The point areas ranged from 5 to 20. Each player had 15 shots on the goal. Katry won for the 10 year old girls and Brig won for the 12 year old boys.
Brig was also the best shot out of all the boys so he got to compete with the best girl in a shoot out against a local news guy. He has a segment on Friday nights where he does a challenge called- Beat the Beam (his last name). He challenges different people to do different things and then puts it on tv- its a way to highlight the different activities in the area. So anyway- for the final challenge they each had five balls to shoot. The "Beam" got ten points, the girl got 80 and Brig fiercely challenged with a mighty 70 points. His second to last shot hit off of the goal post. Bummer! But it was a lot of fun. I am hoping that when the segment airs this Friday night I will be able to post the actual thing- but if not these pictures will have to do. Way to go Kiddos . Too bad Seth couldn't enter the contest. He probably would have schooled them all!
