Olivia's first soccer game

It was fun to watch all the kids chasing that soccer ball down the field, up the field, towards the wrong goal and way off the field! Olivia seemed to enjoy it, although she had a hard time keeping up with the bigger kids. I'm now glad she is on a team with bigger and older kids. She seemed to really watch and take in what they were doing. The coach said she did really good for her age. He said some kids just stand there or don't even want to play, but she really tried to keep up. There is only one other girl on the team (there was another girl, but I think she may have dropped out, I'm not sure what happened to her) and she takes every opportunity to socialize with her. She is starting to interact with the boys a little too, she seemed really intimidated in the beginning by all the boys.

The pics are too cute of all the kid going after the ball! I love her pony-tail in the first pic (that IS her, isn't it?) and the pic of her running after the ball in the 2nd pic. :)

No that isn't her with the ponytail! You can't even see her in the crowd of kids in the first pic. In the second, she is wearing a purple shirt and she is kicking the ball in that picture.
