We enjoyed a spring and summer full of organized sports this year. Both girls suited up for soccer as school started to wind down for the year. Winnie landed on the same team (Green Leprechaun All-Stars) that she played with in the fall and she rocked soccer this time around! She scored a handful of goals, ran like a gazelle and only shed a couple of tears. She even decided she'd like to become a soccer coach when she grows up!
June thought she'd give soccer a go this year too. Her team was full of newbies and they faced an uphill battle most of the season, but June really learned a lot. She became a fierce defender and eventually scored a goal at the end of the season when she got the courage to play offense.
Before we knew it, fast-pitch softball season was upon us. Mom was a bit nervous at the start of the season because these little girls can really chuck that ball, but June was a total stud on her team! She played second base for most of the season, she scored a bunch of runs, learned to slide like a pro, and put Mom in the poor farm after I promised her 5 bucks a hit. Her coaches were so great - I am amazed by all the new skills June learned. I think she's found her sweet spot when it comes to sports. Can't wait until next year!
