Soccer Star

Saturday was Norah's first day of Daddy and Me soccer. It was in the middle of another insane heat wave. (Listen, I can take a few weeks of 90+ degree weather when it is in the SUMMER. The issue I have is when it is fall and 65 degrees one day and then 90 the next. That's just no good for anyone). Anyway, the class is done through our local Parks and Rec department and takes place at the elementary school about a mile and a half away. Here are BVZ and Norah ready to go. They both look a little ghostly due to their long sleeve white shirts and 12 layers of sunscreen.

I went this one time just to check it out and take pictures. From here on out I plan to spend soccer class time either napping or watching HBO. The class was cute and Norah seemed to have a good time, but I had a couple of issues with it. Mainly, there were TOO MANY KIDS. Like, 20 or so two year olds. That's too many kids. I am hoping that because they are two things will inevitably come up and not everyone will be at every class.

This is the coach. I can't remember her name. Which is especially odd because she referred to herself in the third person the entire time. For the first 15 minutes I kept looking around for the coach she seemed to be referring to.

They learned to 'stomp' on the ball and then ran around touching different colored flags.




Then they kicked the ball from one flag to the next. Norah ruled this exercise.

Finally they got a chance to shoot goals. She had to wait so long for her turn that she got a little disinterested, but still rallied at the end.


It should be a good experience for both Norah and dad. Let's just hope it is much cooler next week and lots of kids call in sick.

After a good nap for everyone we went to a fabulous afternoon/evening bbq at K-Dog Studios. It was so good and so much fun that no one took a single picture. That's the definition of a good time.
