Soccer Camp



Sundee has been in Soccer Camp all week.  We experienced some very hot weather this week (which I loved) and Sundee came home every afternoon tired and hot.  
Today we got to go and watch the "World Cup". 
So far in the week I've been dropping her off and picking her up and have not been staying to see any of the action.  I heard about the skills she was learning and even heard some comments on how well she was doing.  
When we got there I was a little confused.  What "skills" were they teaching?  What was the exact name of this camp?  Was there a side course that Sundee registered for without telling us?

Let me explain.  When we got there she was the only one on the field without a pinny on.  The game was starting (the whistle had been blown)  and the ref was telling Sundee to put on her red pinny.  So she picks it up off the field and pulls it on.  Here in pictures is what followed.




 She has pulled it over her head and is not happy with the "look"


 should she wear it behind her head like a shrug?

 or should she wear it like a halter top?

Have we put her in soccer camp or is this Fashion Camp?

"If you just adjust your shirt ......"

 "I hope this humidity hasn't wrecked my hair"

 "Ok people, the key here is accessorizing."



To be fair she did play some soccer (after she sorted out her uniform)
We watched her play goal, forward and a tough defence.

Notice her shirt matches her shin guards.




End of story.  Don't mess with Sundee whether it be in fashion or soccer.

14!!!!



Every year I get surprised that my kids get older.  I just can't get used to it. 
Another birthday for our daughter- 14 years!!  
We are very proud parents.  As well as growing taller every year she is also growing
more beautiful, more mature, more compassionate and mature.
Happy Birthday Willow!

she received her dream gift- a cell phone
she cried, she laughed, she jumped up and down
she texted the world
