Maddie's First Soccer Game















Yes, it's true. Maddie is a "Bumblebee." (team name, compliments of Daddy - AKA 'assistant coach if the coach has a work emergency')

She played tough. She played hard. She played for four minutes at a time.

She drove the ball all the way down the field and almost scored the first time her foot touched the ball in the game. The ball bounced off someone and the smallest girl on the team (far left) toddled over and kicked it in. Maddie's first assist!

It's tough for Johnny and me since both games are at 11 A. We have no idea why the powers that be would schedule their games at the same time. So, we ran back and forth from one field to the other, trying to catch some of each game. Can't wait until the next two weeks when our cheering section will be bigger and take some of the pressure off us!
