Fall Sports

Coleson was super excited to play Miller Park Soccer.  He was even more excited when he figured out that more than half the kids on his team he already knew from church!

We figured out very soon that, unlike his sisters, this boy is VERY serious about doing well in sports.  He would get rather frustrated when he or his teammates didn't do things the way he thought they should.  After a little discussion from Mom and Dad, though, he did a good job of being patient, sharing, and enjoying his first "organized" soccer season.
Makinzie started doing tennis in the spring and was really excited about doing the Saturday tennis clinics here in Winston.  The Young Folks Tennis program has been lots of (FREE!!!) fun for all the kids.  
They made great progress and, best of all, enjoyed getting out and learning something new.  
Again, Coleson takes things pretty seriously (though tennis seemed to be less so than
 soccer or, later, baseball)
For Addellyn, if it's not gymnastics, then it's just a diversion.  She had fun, but really was there for the social interaction than actually learning the tennis.
Probably the best part of all was the chance we had every Saturday to get out into the sun.  Good times in the fall weather are great for us!  And again, who can beat FREE?!
Although, bike riding in the front circle is also free, and they love that too! (usually)
