Soccer Practice

Practicing soccer in his new gear at our house 

Daddy and Corben playing kick 

Great kick from Corben 

Corben had his first night of soccer camp at our church, it is once a week for the month of July. He has been so excited about it.  He was excited to meet his "coach" who handed him his soccer camp shirt and directed the camp.   

The actual coaches are Fresno Pacific University's girl's soccer team! Wow! 

Corben is the second boy on the far left of picture (no hat)

Mason Kate drawing and being such a good girl at Corben's soccer practice. 

It was 107 degrees at 6 pm tonight.

Mason getting brother's water jug ready for him. (Corben's favorite color is red) 

They took three water breaks and all the kids had to run back to their parents for water and then back on the field. 

Corben in the middle (hat on) kicking back and forth with another little boy. 

Group huddle to cheer for a great practice.

Notice Corben in his green hat in the center, not putting his hands in....maybe next week!
