Bailey and Whitney are playing soccer for the first time. Whitney plays on team "Japan". She is so cute about soccer. On soccer practice days she wakes up excited to go to practice....and waits till 5:30 pm for practice. I tell her it is time to get ready and she is right on it. She is happy to go and happy when we come home. After a hot soccer practice we usually go swim at the pool for an hour. School starts next week so the swimming after will stop because the pool next to practice will not be open anymore. At the game today she was excited but it was HOT!!!! They play four 10 minute quarters. After 3 quarters the coaches called the game. One girl on the other team was throwing up. They put a blue jersey over Whitney's jersey and put her on the other team to help them out. They played hard in the heat of Texas in August. She was a good sport about playing for the opposing team. As parents we were not sure whether we should cheer for her team "Japan" or the team she was actually playing on.
Bailey plays on the "Houston Dynamos"...OK not the real Dynamos but they are pretty good. They played hard and ended with a tie...0-0. They were a pretty even matched team. This is Whitney and Bailey's first time to ever play soccer. At Bailey's first game she played the position of defender.
Go Bailey and Whitney!!!!!
Full of energy and ready to play before the game.
Whitney played goaly for 2 of the quarters, sat out 1 quarter, and played defender for the opposing team for one quarter.

The ball was not perfectly on the line so she made a few adjustments before the kick (below).
