Robbie Playing Soccer

Anderson and Anderson!  Here are some photos of Robbie playing soccer as a kindergartner and first grader. 

Kindergarten

Robbie quickly gained confidence in his soccer skills. At first, he was cautious about playing and needed a lot of  encouragement. We told him he wouldn't have to play on the field until he decided he was ready, and even then, Adam was right by his side, holding his hand, helping him know what to do. He is really good at running down the field with the ball, and just like I said with Michael, it is a joy to watch him play with a smile on his face.

After the game

 The boys with some of Robbie's teammates and good friends, and Emily cheering them on. 

 Mary and Rob came to visit and got to see a game with us, as did Adam's parents.

I really enjoy watching the boys play soccer. We bring our camping chairs and set up a spot and let the little kids run around while we visit and watch the game.

Fall Visit to Bill's Berry Farm

Here we are on our Fall visit to Bill's Berry Farm for some good old fashioned fun. We finished off at the petting zoo, and started out at the corn maze and hay pyramid with lots of other farm activities in between.

                   

 The corn maze--fun for all the kids both big and little.

  In the wagon being pulled by a tractor--on our way to the other side of the farm where they have a playground, tire swing, and picnic area. 

 Tessa and Rachael--such silly girls. 

   Cool kids!

 A local homeschooling, farming family that had recently taught themselves to play string instruments. If I remember right, they didn't tell anyone they were learning to play so they could surprise their friends and family with an unexpected performance. Wow!

  Tess and Rach looking oh so cute next to a little calf at the farm's petting zoo. Bill's Berry Farm is a family favorite. We bring home pumpkins from the patch, left over fresh, homemade donuts (if we have any leftover), and lots of good memories of time spent outdoors with family.
