Soccer!

Benjamin is our all-star soccer player!  :)  He plays soccer every Friday, and all the kids on his team are also his friends from church; there are about 8 of them on the team. And my good friend, Ruth, who is also all the kids' Primary President, is Coach Ruth on Fridays.  :)  Going to soccer is fun for all the parents, too. We're all good friends, so we have a blast hanging out for an hour every weekend. Last Friday we even planned a fire-pit party afterward, and everyone stayed after to roast smores together. :)


 One moment, looking like a pro!


The next moment, crash & tumble!!  :)
 
The way this league works is he is part of a team of 4 & 5 year olds, and his coach helps them practice a new skill for 30 minutes and then scrimmage against themselves the next 30 minutes. I really like this setup.


He enjoys playing soccer, and I have a feeling he will stick with this sport. But who knows? :)

That looks like he is having a blast! I can't wait to put Jack in sports. I think he'll love it, too. Wish you guys lived close so I could come to some of Ben's games!
