Yesterday I took her to her games, and her friend Maria came with us. Today, Mike took her to a different town for a second tournament.
When you live in Wyoming, and you have kids on a traveling team, they AIN'T KIDDING!
You travel.
You drive hours to a tournament, watch your talented offspring play, and then drive home. This spring, the tournaments are 2 hours away max, which isn't bad. Not for around here :-)).
Last fall, her team was a young team, and they lost. One game after another. It was hard to watch. But the girls had fun, and loved their little team cheer (I really think that was their favorite part!).
This weekend's games were very different. They played 6 games in all, and WON FOUR OF THEM! They were just so excited about it! Gosh, they really deserved it, too!
And they still love their team cheer :-))
Her coaches started to give out a tournament award to the most outstanding player of the day, and today Anya received the award. She was so happy and proud!
Anya is #24, on the left. She is very quick and focused, and a great team player.
Yesterday, she played the goalie position for the first time. She kind of liked it, but it made her nervous, too, she said. She likes playing forward the best!
Maria, one of her best friends since Kindergarten!

Sounds like soccer IS serious business your way! Owen is our soccer player in the family...and that won't start up here until the fall.
To answer your question ...I buy the bubble solution usually in a large jug from Walmart or
Target;-).
Congrats to Anya for receiving the tournament award!
Beautiful scenery..love the mountains in the backgound...Wyoming is on our family list of places to see! Hopefully some day;-).
Congratulations, Anya. That's awesome to receiving an award so early into the season. Our Emma started up her spring soccer league this past weekend. I can't even imagine driving 2 hours to a game. That's some serious dedication, Barb. Thanks again for all your support. I hope I can find internet access at the hospital so that I can still read you and Buffi's blogs. It brightens my week.
Love,
Kim K.
Way to go Anya! KL can relate to feeling nervous playing goalie!
How fun to play soccer, and even more fun to WIN! ;)
I love Nina's summer dress below, she looks so pretty in orange! Target is the best!
