soccer season...it's a wrap!

Mikayla's soccer season ended on the last Saturday in October. She had such a BLAST this year with soccer...I can see her continuing with this sport for awhile. She was so upset when she had to miss either a practice or game. She was such a fun player to watch and I was so proud of her! Her greatest strength was being a defender...maybe the "go get 'em" aggressive attitude will come later!

On her last game of the season all of the girls dressed up in tutus over their soccer gear. It was pretty cute to watch them all running around in "girly-wear", but they still acted tough and got in there to win the game. Mikayla scored her second goal of the season during her last game and her smile was PRICELESS!!

I just love this smiley girl!

One last cheer!
After the game, the team and parents celebrated the season with some breakfast treats and juice under the covered area near the field. The coach talked briefly about each of the girls, gave them a medal, and a little treat bag.

Go Dolphins!

Aren't these medals so cute?!

It was such a great season...
I'm pretty sure she'll be back again next year!

Mikayla has really enjoyed soccer this Fall. It is her first year playing and the start to the season felt a bit slow as she was learning the basics, but she has really grown leaps and bounds since then!! She still has a tendency to be more of a defender than the aggressive one out on the field, but no matter what...she is a go-getter and team player. And I couldn't be more proud of her!

A few weeks ago, she had a pretty big cheering squad!

Yesterday (while at Disneyland), she realized that she was missing her soccer game back home and actually started crying. This shows me her love for the game that she would be so upset to miss a game...even when she was at the Happiest Place on Earth!
