Summer of Soccer and T Ball

This summer Thomas participate in both weekly soccer and a 1 week morning soccer camp and T Ball at our local field.  When we signed him up we thought he would have Tuesday and Thursday night practices.  At our first T ball practice we learned he would also have games, oh yikes!

Soccer was a fairly simple idea (at this level) for the kids; T ball on the other hand has lots of rules to follow while participating in a game.  From the first practice to the last game it was so fun to watch the kiddos progress in their game knowledge.  It went from a cluster of kiddos running and tackling one another to get the ball, to the kids getting the ball and trying to throw it to first base, huge progress for 3/4 year olds. 

During the week of soccer camp, Grandpa and Grandma McConachie were also in town.  Grandpa and Daddy (Mike) got to be the honorary goal keepers a few times and I don’t know who had a bigger smiles, Thomas, Grandpa or Mike! 

Although

it was busy and some nights we missed a practice for soccer or t ball if we were swimming or doing something else, it was a fun way to spend the summer nights.  Thomas loved it and keeps asking when he can start playing again!
