Hatcher's First Soccer Practice

The first Sunday of the month, we took Hatcher to his first soccer practice. It took him a while to warm up, but after about 15 minutes, he was totally into it. Of the 25 children, there were three other kids from his school who were at practice. Once he figured that out - he was into it. They didn't play a game, rather they just learned to dribble and kick the ball while running. The parents participated - there were a lot of us there. The kids ranged in age from 3-4. So likely - this was the first for most of them. There were lots of cameras and video cameras. Aidan had a blast just being outside. He had fun playing with the goal markers and chasing the other kids' balls. Here are some pictures from that hour. We all went and enjoyed some ice cream afterwards...can't wait until the next practice. Hatcher has been sleeping in his cleats - he loved it so much!
