Going for the Goal!

Saturday was the start of a new Soccer season. Isaac has been so excited to play soccer again. I almost dropped the ball and forgot to register him. At the mercy of the registration office and a late fee, I got him signed up. He is on a team with two of his buddies, Trevan and Jake down the street.  The field was pretty long for these little guys to run, some of them looked red as tomatoes! When there was a time out in the game, Trevan and Isaac practiced their secret handshakes and rocks explosions on the field. It made me laugh. Then it was game time. The played, they ran, they stopped during the game to get a drink of water... that is the most important part, to stay hydrated right?! I could see Coach Tim (Trevan's dad) kindly shouting at the kids to stop drinking and chase the ball. 

And then it happened, the moment Isaac had hoped for when we left the house. He got site of the ball and he went for it, running, kicking, running kicking, blocking the kids around him.

 He swopped around by the goal, got around the goalie who was watching him get ready to score, and then...

HE SCORED!!!!!!!!!! 

And the crowed goes wild! (Well as wild as a small mom and pop crowd can be!) He was beaming from ear to ear! I was so proud of him. Thats what he wanted to do and he did it. He played so great during his game. It was different from last year when he would stare and the clouds and the grass. He was really into the game.

After that it was his turn to be goalie. He did great! He blocked every ball that came his way.

We are so proud of you Isaac! Keep up the good work! And congratulations on your first goal during your first game! Even after all that running and his face was bright red from being in the hot sun, he still wanted to come home and play soccer with his dad.

And what did Dax do during the game? Yup. He put a cone on his head. It was his hat. Good job buddy! Way to cheer on your brother!
