It's All About The Trophy

When we got back into town, I got an email from Brody's soccer coach filling us in on what we missed when we were gone, which really wasn't anything.  Apparently, our last game was rained out, so it was okay'd to have teams come back the next week and play one more game.  We were so excited that Brody would be able to play one last game with his team.  We showed up on that next Saturday morning to mostly empty fields.  Evidently, they cancelled the games because they couldn't book the field, but not everyone got the message.  A few teams did show, so we played against one of them.  Before we started though, Piper had fun practicing her kicks to Daddy.
Great kick Piper!  It was also freezing that morning and she was excited that she could wear her snow mittens and hat one more day.  She refused to put on her jacket though,  that's Piper for you.
Just a few more years and it will be your turn Piper!
It was a crazy game.  The boys were all over the place.  No one was really getting it to the goal.  The other team was pretty much dominating us, but not one of those boys could care less.  They were having so much fun just being out there playing together.  It was a great time.
And at the end he got the best prize of all. . . .  his very own first trophy!  This kid was beyond excited.
It was a great first season and we are sad to see it go.  Already looking forward to next year and hoping to reunite with our team!

Yay for the trophy! So, the question is....if this was a soccer-mom commerical, would he be rewarded for that trophy with McDonalds, or with Quaker Oat bars? haha :)
