Soccer

We are pretty excited over here on our remote peninsula in the middle of nowhere.  Finally, the homeschoolers are becoming more of a unit.  We are organizing and doing more fun things together!  Today's plan was to try Frisbee golf again or just play soccer. When it was time to go I told the kids to choose between packing Frisbees and rubber boots for hiking in mud puddles or soccer cleats and balls.

They chose soccer and so did everyone else.  Whew!  This is the only picture of kids playing soccer and they aren't even playing!  It was wet and muddy, just perfect for kids!  At one point in the game, the parents looked over to see IJ and another (taller, stronger, bigger) boy on the ground fighting with IJ on top.  The other mom started running over saying, "What are you doing?"  The other parents thought a real fight was going on.  The boys broke it up and the other boy said, "We're just wrestling, mom!" 

This guy wanted to get down and really experience the grass and mud for the first time.

Rugby Anyone?

And he really loved the soccer ball.  I shouldn't be surprised.  The baby behind D is 1 1/2 years old.  He's so tiny compared to my Big D.

Where's the Baby?
