Sam's First Soccer Game

Sam started his first day of soccer today and he was so excited.  He got on the soccer kick when I was watching my sisters kids for a few days and we had to take his cousin, Megan, to soccer practice.  I think the only disappointing thing was when we showed up and he realized he didn't get to be on Megan's team.

Sam got a great coach.  He was awesome.  Worked well with the kids, made them a team chant, and kept them kicking the ball the right direction (well, mostly in the right direction!). :)

We had to snag a shot of Sam and his teammate, Caden.  We were so happy that he was towering over someone his age! :)

Here he is getting ready for the kick off.

Doing the team cheer.  "Go Green Alligators.  Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!"

And off he went.  He was running everywhere.  And by everywhere I mean everywhere.  He was pretty good at staying with the ball, but sometimes he would just get too excited and just start running circles around everyone.  It really was kind of like seeing a dog who just got let off his leash at the park and is just so excited he started circling! :)

He had some good biffs too.  But he was always quick to get back up and start running again.
