Lagoon, soccer, and owies

We went to Lagoon on Friday, with our friend John and his 2 girls, my sister Ally joined us as well. The kids had a good time. Logan was the perfect height being just tall enough to ride many of the big rides but not being too tall for the kiddy rides. Trevor as usual had no fear and was eager to go on any ride. Kylie did well on most kiddy rides, though those that went up in the air made her a bit nervous, thank goodness Logan was with her. The weather was nice - a bit muggy but not too hot and the few rain drops that fell were brief, and the evening cooled down nicely. My mom was gracious enough to come and pick up Logan and Kylie at dinnertime (and deliver our dinner to us) so the rest of us could really enjoy more of the rides, they were very tired at that point anyway. It was a long and exhausting day but a ton of fun.

This week was also the start of Logan & Trevor's soccer seasons. They have been having practices for a couple weeks now, but this week were their first games. Logan's on Thursday and Trevor's on Saturday.

Logan at first was being a stinker and didn't want to play, but after talking it over with him he decided he wanted to play and put forth pretty good effort after that. At halftime he started begging his coach to let him play goalie. The team they were playing was a bit young and inexperienced and weren't getting very close to scoring so the coach eventually agreed. He spent part of the time sitting on the ground (I think he recognized the goalie wasn't doing much and that is why he wanted to play that position in the first place). These pics crack me up, I'm not really sure what he is doing in the second one, some kind of ninja-karate move?

Trevor didn't play much in his first game (he had missed quite a few practices this week with a 2 night scout campout and our Lagoon trip), but when he got in he played defender. He hustled and was really focused on his assignment.

Poor Kylie has had a rough week. It started last Sunday when she fell down crossing the street and landed on her nose, scraping it up. Then on Tuesday she fell on the porch and scraped up her forehead and eye. On Friday she had cavities filled for the first time (she did pretty good once they gave her some laughing gas), but when her bottom lip was numb she bit into it pretty hard and gave herself a bloody fat lip. Then today at church she pinched her finger in a door. Why is it my girl seems to get more owies than either of her brothers seemed to? It probably has something to do with her trying to keep up with her big brothers. Though maybe I just don't remember all the scrapes and bruises the boys had (I am getting old -- the big 3-5 is only 1 week away).
