The kids both played soccer with Parks and Rec this spring. Parks and Rec asked me to coach, but we decided Adam would be a better choice! They were on teams with our neighbor friends, Sadie and Aya. I wasn’t prepared for being fully thrown into the sports world! By the second week, we had bought a wagon to haul things to the field- soccer balls, water, chairs, blanket, snacks……

Sloane did really well. Her first game, first time on the field, she offered to play goalie. We needed to remind her a few times over the weeks to pay attention to the ball while playing.

Soren also did well. His age played 4 on 4 and they were mostly a cluster moving about the field. Coaches are on the field, so Adam got lots of steps each weekend.

And the tradition of lunch at Seize the Bagel post games was also a big hit!
