soccer saturdays

soccer season has begun!
today was kalei's first game, and she had fun running around (until she got too hot, that is. next time, we'll take an umbrella and a cooler!).
kawelo enjoyed the snacks....

koa enjoyed the friends....

...and kalei enjoyed the beautiful day!

the weather has been super mild the past few days and lulled me into a false sense of security - it doesn't matter if it's 80 degrees, it's still boiling if there's no shade! (and, go figure, there aren't any trees or shade-giving structures snuggled up next to these soccer fields.) so, (bad mom alert!) poor kalei didn't have cold drinks waiting for her (just room temperature ones) and kawelo might've gotten just a teensy bit sunburned. overall, though, kalei decided she still likes soccer. she's still not uber-competitive (which is totally fine by us! i think i was the only parent out there yelling "have fun out there!"), but it'll get her used to sports for when she's in third grade and can start the sport of her destiny: volleyball!

Bess, I'm really enjoying all you're entries (although I know it's not necessarily for me). Kalei is lucky she can just enjoy it!
