Today was the first official soccer game of the Spring 2005 season. It was a cool and very windy day, making it rather brisk on and off the field. I had made Corwin wear one of his new hi-tech undershirts that we got for him in Texas so he wasn’t too bad off but some of the other kids were just in shorts and game shirts. Alice and Charles spent most of the time cuddling on Mom for warmth. Later Alice cuddled with Dad, which made taking pictures difficult. With the combination of Alice squirming and the wind good focus was just not possible.
Corwin started out as goalie but had some difficulty with the goalie vest. He got so tangled up in it that the coach came out to help but couldn’t figure it out. He had to take it completely off Corwin in order to get it on correctly.
On the other hand, Corwin had a good game day. He got lots of game time and made some excellent saves as goalie. Corwin played mostly defense. Even when officially on offense, he still tended to hang back for defense. A good game, even better because Corwin’s team won. They scored 4 or 5 goals, each one by a different player which is always a positive thing.
