Bending It Like...

Well, not exactly Beckham, but the ladies have been playing their first official league soccer this autumn, and it has been fun! Their team is called Rainbow Kitty Pony.

The are in their fourth week now, and they have a perfect 0 and 4 record. Whoo Hoo! Today's game was actually pretty exciting, and they only lost by a single goal at the last second when their former daycare buddy--a member of the opposing team (Pink Ponies)--literally bent it like Beckham and scored a nearly impossible goal. This girl is actually pretty amazing for a 5-year-old.

We have had the fortune of playing on the awesome new turf at Battle Point Park here on the island, though the next two weeks will be on the grass fields. Given the weather lately, it might turn out to be a bit muddy, but it is soccer.

This is a shot from the first week of soccer, before the girls got their shorts and cool Adidas soccer socks--there are Adidas shin guards hiding under those warm-ups.
