Soccer

Kiera has been really interested in soccer for nearly a year, since her friend Ashley plays on a team. So when Centerville City offered a soccer class in their summer recreation program, she got really excited. She and Makenna were both stoked to be able to play together. They started last week and go for an hour 3 times a week, for 3 weeks. It has been so fun for them, and for Kasidee and me to watch (we even had Granny join us to watch)! I'm amazed how much they are liking it, and how good they are. Makenna especially loves being Goalie and she does a low grunt-laugh every time she blocks a goal. It is so cute. And when she is on the field, her little legs are just pumping, and she is not afraid to get right in between even the big boys. Kiera is so good at kicking the ball far and loves to count how many goals she makes. It has been a fun experience - so nice to walk to the park, sit in the shade and enjoy the game! The teenage coaches are so good to the kids and have taught them lots of soccer skills - including "heading" the ball!
