So this weekend was the official start to Alec's soccer season. The Blue Raptors had their first game Saturday. We had to get up early and drive out to Pearl Harbor to play against one of the teams based out there. The kids got their jerseys for the first time on game day. Alec was very excited to be number 1 again just like he was for t-ball. It was already hot at 10:30am when they started playing. I think the heat got to the kids a little bit in the beginning. The kids didn't play great as a team since many of them have never played before but they all worked hard and had a good time. Alec was a little rockstar out there! He had a really great time and played great. With every goal the other team scored you could see Alec deflate a little bit. He was getting visibly frustrated with losing but Kyle explained to him between quarters that he simply needed to play his best and that's all that matters.

All of the parents ended up helping coach since his actual coach was busy trying to get a little girl on the team to go out and play. Our side of the field was definitely the loudest!

In the end the team enjoyed playing and I think they were happy to get the first game out of the way. All in all I think it is going to be a good season.
