Fun Anticipation

 Last weekend we were able to see our oldest grandson play soccer. We arrived early so that we could see him during the "warm-up" exercises.

 It was a very hot day, so the kiddos had frequent water breaks!

 Little brother was also present...checking out the field and anticipating the day he will also be out there kicking the ball around!

 He enjoyed giving this little girlfriend a few gentle tips on soccer.

 And then the games began! (That's our little star, right there in the center.)

 After the game was over, J insisted that he wanted to ride in our car. So here we are, one very excited and happy little guy! (And of course the grandparents were very happy to hear the chatter and comments that never ended!) 

 This picture reminds me so much of a little collectable that my mother has sitting on her windowsill. It shows two little farm boys with a wagon between them and the caption underneath states, "Are you pushing or pulling?"

 Pure joy!

 And pure delight!

 Then it was time for some pizza.

 And a bit of fun imagination...

 and more imagination!

And then Uncle Jamie led the whole gang in a backyard game of soccer! It was such an enjoyable time together as a family.

And now we are off to Montana for more family fun!
