The Critter Force Team started their soccer season tonight with a win against A&W (although officially they don't keep score)! Holyn was iffy for a start after all her foot issues. She hasn't been thrilled with my (and the doctor's) orders to keep off the foot and was mad at me this morning for not allowing her to participate in gym class. After school she told me she didn't do gym, but did admit to playing kick ball at recess. Her foot wasn't swollen, so our very own Critter #3 stormed the field. 
This year the rules are a bit different. The teams play 4 on 4 and each player is not allowed to score two times in a row. Holyn is one of the oldest and tallest kids on her team, so she has a slight advantage over the other girls. That and black and hot pink kicks also help your attitude!
Holyn grabbed a goal on her first attempt (can you find her kicking the ball in?) and got to wear the celebratory white jersey over her uniform until someone else on the team scored. One kid on the opposite team got close to scoring a goal and tried to tip it in with her hands. 
Lant yelled from the sidelines "Go Holyn, get in there" to which Holyn yelled back "I'm trying to Dad". She almost scored again later, and overall played a fantastic game.
After the "good game" high fives with the other team and snack time with her group, Holyn professed "I LOVE Soccer!"
