Riley's First Soccer Game

Riley played in his first soccer game on Saturday. He's team is called: Sandlot. It was a perfect day for playing! We were almost late. All week the kids have been getting up at around 7, but on Saturday, Emma got up at 7:55 and we needed to be at the game at 8:45... and Riley wasn't even up yet! It was amazing, but we had everyone dressed and in the car in just over 15 minutes. We made it to the game site, right on time. Thankfully the previous game had gone over, so we were alright! We had told Riley that his grandma Peterson was going to be there. So, he started searching the crowd for her. She wasn't there yet. He started to cry! Please keep in mind, his only been up for about 30 minutes, and he is usually the one to wake everyone up, not the other way around. Grandma was running late too! As soon as she showed up, he was all smiles. The game was so cute! The kids ran as a little clump after the ball, with coaches and parent chasing the kids. The parents and coaches are trying to help the little ones figure out which way they are supposed to go! It's really funny! One of the parents for half time, brought oranges for the team to eat. Riley was so happy, after all he hadn't eaten breakfast yet. It was such a fun game to watch! We have games every Saturday morning at Sandstone Ridge Park's Soccer Field. It's located at 1661 W. Hammer Lane if anyone wants to come down. The games are at 8 or 8:45. Let us know if you want to come, and we will tell you which time we have that week. It was so fun to watch Riley run all over the field! He was really cute.

Go Sandlot!
