First Game Fun

Well, Edward Stuart Foote, a member of the Wyomissing "Blasters," experienced his first-ever "football" match at 2 p.m. today. And we have to say (...if our sore throats are any indication) it was such fun to watch and experience with him! *grin*

Our "shy-guy" was anything but shy today and constantly ran for the ball, trying to defend or "offend," depending on his position. (He seems to prefer playing defense so he hung out on that part of the field...except for when he became part of the amoeba of U8 soccer players, amalgamating en masse in one spot on the field, each trying to kick the ball away from the others, even if they were on the same team.)

We were so proud!

They didn't win -- the score was 4-2 which I think disappointed him a little bit -- but they had a GREAT time! And learned lots.

And isn't that winning, too?
