Grace's First REAL Soccer Game

After playing Small Fry soccer in the spring, Grace was anxious to start "real" soccer this season. Real soccer = no parent participation and real games! She had one goal in mind: to score a "real" goal because she didn't get one last season. Here she is looking cute before her first "real" practice yesterday. Notice the pose. It's her new thing.
Travis accompanied her, and he said that as soon as they began playing, Grace got the ball and scored the first goal. She immediately turned around, looked at him and gave him a huge thumbs up.

Then, she scored a REAL goal in her first REAL soccer game! Woo hoo! She turned to us and gave us another huge thumbs up. This is how she came off the field...
She cracks me up! I took lots of live footage, but in most of it, you can't really tell which one she is. She's #5 (her choice because that's how old she'll be soon), but I saw at least two other #5s on the field. It must be a popular number.
Grace was so proud of herself, and we're so proud of her too! I love my soccer star!
