Yes, Spring is in the air and when all of us Minnesotans come out of hibernation we get smacked really hard with crazy schedules because outdoor Spring sports go full force. Jacque and Ben have been enjoying indoor soccer during April. Good thing Minnesotans have found a good use for hockey rinks when hockey season is over! They are fun to watch and a much faster game since the kids can use the ice arena walls to kick off of....which means there really isn't much "out of bounds." As for parents, all you need to remember is to bring your jacket/sweatshirt...the ice arena can get pretty chilly :o) They play games every Saturday or Sunday. Ben started baseball in April as well. His first game was last Thursday (April 29). He now plays machine pitch and they follow most of the rules of baseball now, except for the length of the game. It is 6 innings or 2 hours, whichever comes first. And then track has started. It is for only 4 Saturdays in May, for K-5th grade. Jacque really enjoyed watching Ben participate last year, so she wanted to do it this year as a 5th grader. So both Ben and Jacque are doing that as well. Unfortunately, these first 2 weeks of May, everything is colliding and happening all weekend.
The good news is, Jacque's soccer team was undefeated and has continued on to the championship game next Saturday (May 8)...yeah!!!!! Ben really loves soccer, baseball and track....and can't wait to start basketball in the winter now. Jacque as well has learned she absolutely loves indoor soccer and finds the track, especially the high jump, to be quite fun.
So below are a few highlights of this weekend...
