Cameron's First Soccer Game

My soccer mom days have officially begun...I am seriously so excited! The Monkeys had their first game a couple weeks ago and it was a riot. The U4 kiddos play 3-on-3 and the best way to describe it is, well...crazy. Cameron did great, she ran circles around the other kids (literally)...now we just need to work on getting her to go after the ball! She would run up and down the field waiving at us, but she wasn't super interested in going after the ball at first. After a little encouragement, she finally figured it out and scored a couple goals (one in the other teams goal, but that's ok!)

Let the game begin! 

Here's Coach Ryan and Coach Raph giving their pre-game motivational speech...

While Coach Ryan was on the field providing some last minute guidance. 

And then, the kick off! 

A bunch of cute little Monkeys...

Leave it up to Cameron to find a "teeny, tiny ant" during the game. 

Half time oranges...it's very important to refuel. ;)

Looking like a champ ("a totally annoyed with her mom for taking a gazillion pictures" champ!)

Here's Cameron with her little buddy Mason. 

 

Fans are extremely important, and the Monkey's had a lot of really great fans including Sydney and Superpop.
