4 down, 3 to go.
As much as I enjoy watching the kids play, the end of the season can't come fast enough. Too many games & practices. Too hot. Too many other end-of-the-year things going on. We're ready to pack it in.
This week has been brutal. If it wasn't 90 degrees, we had 50 mph winds to deal with. Or dodging thunderstorms. No one wants to make up games. We're all burned out. Check, please.
We had a mixed bag of games-one of the best played games of the season followed by one of the worst. Evan was goalie for the second half of the worst game.He's a good sport about playing in goal. If Coach Paul asks him, he does it; but it's not his favorite. He gives it his all, and sometimes he's exceptionally good. Yesterday was not one of those days.
I'm so proud of how far he has come this season. He really learned a lot from Rush soccer, and I'll be sad to not have him suit up in the fall. It's hard to not be buoyed by his optimism though- he can't wait for football to start, and would like to sign up for rec soccer in the spring. He doesn't feel like he is 'playing down' to go back to rec, and that is a great attitude for him to have.
One more game. Hope for a win!

It's great that he's got enthusiasm and optimism! I'm sure he'll find more than enough to keep you all busy this fall, even if not in soccer. :-)
Such great shots Sue!
