Soccer Again

The kids started soccer yesterday and this year Emma gets to play too!

 Luke even got to practice a bit.

 Josh is still too little to be on a team, but maybe we can sign him up when he's old enough. Still a sweet picture, though.

The mud in the garden? TONS of fun! The cleanup afterward? Not so much.

Should I be worried that his mouth is only clean where his tongue can reach? 

Super (muddy) Levi! Well, that shirt was white...

Emma waited in line with her brothers for the car ride, only to find out that she was too tall. She beat the ride's 54 inch height cap by one inch. against all the other rides measurements, she was only 53 inches. She did try the spider with me and LOVED it. We also got to watch some baby racoons playing in the trees and chew on bark while we waited for The Spider. I really wished I had my camera (and a much longer lens) with me while we watched. Erin had it with the boys while they rode their rides.

Found out this year that Luke is NOT a fan of ANY rides.

Emma's First Solo Skyride. She did great behaving herself and seemed to enjoy it.

 

We were waiting in line for Kontiki in kiddieland. Luke was okay until I pulled the lap bar down and he realised what was happening. I guess he was having flashbacks to the boats. Hopefully next year will be better.

The white spots are not rain, snow, or a dirty lens. They are gnats and flies. After I took this picture, the population (and density) probably quadrupled and they started dive-bombing people people. NAS. TY.
