Soccer Returns

Ben had soccer again today after a long hiatus because of all the Jewish holidays over the last month - every one of them fell over a weekend, so the JCC was closed pretty much every weekend of the last month. Today was picture day, and I have rarely seen kids looking less thrilled to have their picture taken... Here is Ben and most of his team (there were a couple kids out sick this week).

The last time Ben had soccer we were all sweltering in the heat; today we did not have that problem since it was about 55 degrees and cloudy. Becca got to skip her nap to cheer on her brother, but she kept trying to run onto the field and kick the ball. Fortunately Nanny and Papa were along for the game as well. There was a Family Fitness Fun Day thing going on as well, so Nanny and Becca checked that out during the second half of Ben's game. Ben's team lost to Nazareth United, but it was a good game. Ben had a couple of long drives down the field (do you say drives down the field in soccer?) but no goals.
