The last few weeks of baseball we took the Chambers kids so that Jessica could have some hours of quiet with her new baby. They got a taste of the world of playing at ball fields, running around hither and yon unchecked.
One night we hit up Paso after a long evening of sports sports sports.
Then when we take them home, we get to hold the baby.
The second to last game against Lynden, Avery scored a goal!
I am so happy for her. She is getting so good, figuring out what her weaknesses are and trying to improve.
We've been soccering since we were little. This was the last year together. Next year in HIGH SCHOOL (everything's fine) most of these girls are doing volleyball. Only 4 are sticking with soccer.
An evening at the beach...
A hike up Pine and Cedar Lakes in the rain. It felt so good.
Evan started to get the hang of hitting right at the end of the season.
The trick was using George's bat. He said he felt confident with that bat - and that makes all the difference. Remember Dumbo and his lucky feather? Same thing.
My sweet soccer team. I love them so much.
And I'm crazy, but I miss soccer practice and seeing these kids every day.
Andrew got stung by a bee on his ear while out clearing blackberry bushes in our back yard.
The end. Suddenly we are all done with sports. We went from one hundred things a day to nothing. It's awesome but also not awesome. I guess it's just time for a new season of our lives.
