Soccer

Will is doing a great job and having lots of fun playing soccer with the Iowa City Kickers. They have a game every Saturday morning through October, and practice once a week on Tuesday nights. It's convenient because since the team is all Lemme students, their practices are up at the school, so Will practices while Damon and Sam hang out at the playground. They get to wear these cool reversible shirts. (The other side is red.)

His team consists of all Lemme 2nd graders, so it's lots of fun. Here's the whole team: He's usually a defender, although he occasionally plays forward, and has gotten to be the goalie once as well. Always the individual, Will insists on wearing his shin guards on the outside of his socks, despite that I've pointed out to him that everyone else has their's on the inside. (The elastic straps must hurt his legs?) Here are some action shots:

There's this cool statue by the entrance to the soccer complex:

Here's what Max and Sam did at the soccer game today:
