Category: Play Time!

My alarm went of at 5:00 this morning.  Then we got ready to leave to go to Lake Ann.  A fun camp I love that has lots of neat activities and good chapels.

Please pray for safety as Daddy drives us to camp, about 5 hours away.  After he drops us off, he will return home.

I am looking forward to camp.  My friend Casteel is coming with me! Please pray for us this week as we play and learn new things.

We played against a team that had few of my team mates from a couple of years ago. It was fun playing with them again.

When the one played on my team, she never made a goal until the very last game. Her dad said he would pay her $20 if she made a goal. She made three! One was by accident, but the other two we passed to her and she made it.

After our game this week, Becca’s dad told me that I had to tell Mom and Dad that they had to pay me $80.  I told Mom and she laughed.

This week our score was 9-1! So far we are undefeated :)  Becca said she had  fun playing with me again.

Just before the game ended, my friend Evie, crashed into another girl. Evie whacked her head on the ground and the other girl hurt her wrist. Please pray for both of the girls. I don’t know about the other girl, but Evie had a slight concussion. She went to the doctor and she was told she can’t play sports for six months! She is doing better now though.

My last game is Saturday. If we win, we will be an undefeated team. A few years ago, we were the “unlosable” team. We never won a game though we did tie once. We had a lot of fun both years, but it is fun to win :)  Daddy said he wishes he could get this team again next year.

I am taking a Junior Naturalist Class. My teacher’s husband, Mark Daniels, drew this caricature of me.

We went to Oma’s house to mow her lawn. When we got there, we saw the biggest bird I have ever saw! It was smaller than an Ostrich, but slightly larger than a Secretary Bird, I think.

It appears to come from Alaska, because it had a funny Poler Bear marking on it. We watched it waiting for an egg. It had gone off for food and there was not any eggs. It came back and when it went off again, there was a funny colored egg! It was a pinky purplish color!

Momma said we had to go because Daddy and Mark had finished mowing the lawn.

When we came back a week later to mow the lawn, we saw a very bored Momma bird. She looked like she wanted a book, but we were afraid she would fly away. Then, we noticed a crack in the egg!

The Momma bird got out the nest and watched the egg crack open more. Slowly, we watched a baby bird come out of the egg! The Momma bird looked so excited. I thought it was neat that the baby bird looked almost like it’s Mom! It had the same Polar Bear markings on its tummy.

When we came back a week later, we watched it fly away. I missed watching the baby bird grow. That would have been fun.

I wonder if this bird will ever come back. I will be watching for it.

 

 

We had a good game on Saturday. I have known at least one person on each team we played. They have been my friends or people from my team another year. It is fun to play with them again.

This team we played was good. Their coaches said we did a really good job. We won 7-3, but we worked hard for it.

I had a soccer game this morning. We won 9-5.  The picture at the right was when I made a goal!

We had lots of fun! I like my team because we have all played soccer before. We do good at passing. We all like soccer! That makes soccer fun, even if we don’t win.

We had fun on our first soccer game. My team is called the Lady Rattlers. Daddy and Momma are my coaches. We won 11-1.

I don’t think all the girls played soccer before on the other team.  My team all played soccer before, that’s why I think we did so well. When  we play them again, I think they will do better.

My games are on Saturdays at 10:00.  I will try to post how I do for most games 🙂
