REAL Soccer

Cooper had a make-up soccer game tonight...in the rain.  His coach told them they were "real soccer players" now because they've played in the rain!!  Cooper did great!  He scored 3 of the 5 goals for his team!!  They would've won...if we kept score!

 throwing the ball in
 I think he thought he was playing football for a moment!
 getting in on the action
 turning the ball his team's direction
 blue team wins!
 yeah, yeah, yeah!
since it was raining, the next age group up didn't have enough players show up, so Cooper was asked if he would like to stay and play with the big kids.  
 they were bigger than him, but he played his heart out!
 Coach Chris giving a half-time talk
 Go Cooper!
 he's not scared to go up against the big kids
 ...and win!
 After the soccer games, Cooper and I came home to join our small group Bible study in progress.  After the Bible study, we had a small birthday party for Maggie, who turned 6!
the party favors were a hit!
 Happy Birthday Maggie!

Playland

Greg and Reagan had their last All-Pro Dad meeting of the school year this morning, so Cooper and I took the opportunity to have another mom/son breakfast date!  We had pancakes at Old McDonald's...again
yummy!
 this McDonald's has just been demolished and rebuilt with a brand new playland.  It's Cooper's favorite!
 one more slide before school!
What a great way to start the weekend!

Last Practice

Tonight was the last practice for Cooper's soccer team.  They still have 2 games left to play (weather permitting), then a 2 week break before the summer session begins.
he loves to do the reverse kick!
