Soccer Team!

Well... not really a team, but soccer class. Maddie and Taylor started a YMCA soccer class today. It was SO much fun watching them learn, have fun, AND get exercise!
Taylor loved doing the warm ups...










This is Coach Thomas. He was awesome with the kids. He clearly "gets" teaching them. Having taught theater to kids for many years, I know it can be quite the task to effectively teaching "pints" as we used to call them. He was great. He got down on their level and really connected with them. Yeah for great teachers!

Maddie loved her class, and believe it or not, she was actually really good! We lovingly tease that Maddie is not the most athletic or coordinated little girl, but today, she impressed me! Mia Hamm, look out!










Taylor's class meets first, then Maddie's is after his. For the entire time Maddie was in class, Taylor was attached to this tree:


Every picture he takes lately has to be upside down... so here is the token upside down pic!








Bellingham is supposed to have record setting heat this week... looks like we will be at the lake tomorrow!
