Soccer Has Begun

Zach has been practicing for his new season for a few weeks. Finally, Saturday, they got to play their first game of the season. The White Knights is the chosen name for their team, and I think it is quite appropriate!

The team played a great game, especially through the heat and humidity, and the fact that they had been there for an entire hour before to wait for pictures and the other team to arrive. Nevertheless, they came out on top. But not before Zach got smacked in the face with the ball, right where his glasses were. No worries, nothing broke. He was just a little shaken up from the event, but quickly recovered and jumped right back in the game.

Zach and his team of White Knights played hard, and enjoyed a wonderfully played game. We are especially excited this year because of who Zach's assistant coach is...

That's right... the tall guy in the bright blue coach's shirt, standing next to Coach Jeff, is Assistant Coach "Dad". Look at him go!!

During the game, Ranoah decided to dive into photography. I let her wander around the field taking pictures. Although I had to delete most of them, here's one I felt was a great artistic view, despite the fact that she actually meant to get it centered...

I don't know if I will regret it, but I corrected her usage and angle techniques to get her more centered. This is a picture she took of another team mom that was on the sidelines with us...

I must say she was an excellent sport, letting my daughter take her picture during the excitement of the game.

And here's my humidity stricken photographer...

What would be a post on here without the cuteness that is Skylah? Here she is, trying to pawn off the soccer ball to an adopted crowd grandma...

Great start to what will definitely be a fun season, White Knights!!!
