Football and Soccer took over every single Saturday in September. It was really fun watching them play, but having three different team schedules meant a lot of running around, and a lot of dividing and conquering. Michael had games out in Saratoga Springs sometimes. Here's one that I missed.
I had to laugh at Gabe on the way to practice. He just loves reading.
We had one Saturday where all the grandparents made it to the game. Unfortunately, Michael didn't play at his game because they marked him as injured (he'd sprained his finger at practice). We still enjoyed lunch together after baking in the hot September sun together.
Gabe's soccer team is pretty good this year, and it's getting so fun watching him play. He loves playing defense, but he did get the chance to play offense and score a goal or two.
We volunteered Michael to help with chains at one of Gabe's games. We thought he'd have more fun doing it, but he thought it was kind of boring.
Nana and Papa made it to quite a few games, which is always fun.
Our favorite games were the ones in the stadiums because we could see better. Michael's team was really fun to watch and played at least half of their games in the stadiums.
I took my nice camera and zoom lens to the games one Saturday. I caught some pictures of Michael playing in the Stadium at West Lake. He's #19.
He's in top left player below.
He ran past the line of scrimmage to try to be open to receive the ball.
Blocking.
Halftime banner run.
After watching part of Michael's game against West Lake, I headed back to Alpine for Gabe's game. Gabe's games were also fun to watch, but mostly because of these tiny little bodies running around with pads that drown some of them. I'm surprised by how good some of those 1st and 2nd graders are!
They love running through the banner at half time and the parent tunnel at the end of the game.
Gabe's football team lost every game, and I was really proud of Gabe for sticking with it. There's a lot of standing around at football games, which is tough for those little guys.
After Gabe's football game, we headed over to his soccer game.Gabe's soccer team dominated most of the other teams, so that helped with the football losing situation.
They are starting to figure out how to spread out and play positions, which is really fun.
It's fun as a parent to see their growth each year. I'm so proud of my boys and how hard they work.
