Trophy Time

Julia finally finished her soccer season yesterday. I say finally because the season was at least 2 weeks longer than expected because of all the rain we've had. Let me rephrase that - all the weekend rain we've had. It's beautiful during the week but there's something about Fridays that seem to bring the rain lately. I swear they had more games rescheduled than the actually played when they were supposed to and they missed a handful of practices too.

No worries from Julia though. She wanted to play because her bff Preston played. Sadly they weren't on the same team - and sadder still they never got to play each other due to schedules/sickness. She was hooked from the first practice when she got her team t-shirt. She didn't take it off for 2 days. She started to get tired of practice but getting that special snack after the first game kept her interested and then it became the pursuit of the trophy.

Of all my kids who've played soccer she actually has the most interest and potential to actually do well at the game. By the end of the season she wasn't afraid to get in the pack and try to kick the ball and she runs pretty fast.

Yesterday was finally the last game and then it became the moment she's been waiting for - getting the trophy. Her sisters both have one from their only season playing soccer and she was so, so proud to have one too. I think she slept with it last night. So long to this soccer season - I think we'll be playing again in the Spring.
