Summer soccer...

Gavin is really getting good at soccer these days.  We love everything about the Soccer Tots' summer session...except for the drive.  It's held at Pleasantview Soccer Complex in Boulder, so the view is amazing, but the distance from our house in Broomfield can be a little tough sometimes. 

This summer we went for two hours back-to-back so that each boy had a lesson.  Our only complaint was the small class size because that really made it less fun and soccerish to have 2-5 kids per class.  We made friends with a grandma and her two little granddaughters, one of whom was in Gage's class. Little Zana didn't care too much for soccer, but the hilarious thing was that she'd listen and cooperate if I took her out on the field.  Grandma was both mystified and thankful for my presence there, and they just turned up in Gage's current indoor session, too.  When I convinced Zana to go out on the field and participate with me the other day, Grandma Carol said, "Nice work, Coach Tara.  I should pay for your next session!"  So funny how kids will listen to anyone except those closest to them sometimes, right?
