drilling and sliding......my new life

Tonight was Ethan's first soccer practice. As soon as he was out of the truck, he saw someone he knew from school, and then he was gone.

They all ran around dribbling and waiting for practice to start.

After a quick parent briefing (not like an Army briefing, this was actually quick and to the point), the coach called the kids over and they began.

Elliott wasted no time getting to the slides. This is the coolest play structure I have ever seen!

It has HUGE slides. Elliott loved it.

The attempt at lining up the kids for a drill was a total lost cause.

Then there was sliding......

and drills.......

some sliding.........

some hanging around......

and some drills......

then more sliding......on the COOLEST SLIDE!

I cannot believe this is at a school. It's huge and fast.

This was also the slide that ruined all the fun. Elliott was climbing up to it, lost his footing and fell. I was waiting for him at the bottom of the slide, instead of helping him climb up (MOTY Jaymee) and I couldn't do anything but watch him fall, and hit the ground like a rag doll. Luckily, he only bit his tongue, and has a pretty good bruise on his chest. Whew! I almost had a heart attack. So then he and I sat together and watched the semi-trucks go by on the interstate, and waited for Ethan to be done.

When we got home, Ethan (brother of the year) asked Elliott to carry the soccer ball. Elliott was so proud, he walked right in the house, then made Ethan go in the backyard and play soccer with him. I'm telling you, Elliott does not know how good he has it.

They are both now in bed. It was a great evening.
