The other team kicks the ball out about a quarter of the way down the field closest to our goal. They all line up at about half field waiting for our player to throw it in. Zeke is standing about 10 feet in front of his own teammate.
His teammate throws him the ball. He dribbles down the field and...
SCORE!!!
We are not dwelling on the fact that he scored in his own goal and the other team was still watching from half field. He was all smiles from ear to ear! He came out and gave me the biggest high five and all he talked about was scoring that goal. I'm pretty sure it was the only goal our team scored. The other team was pretty big and it was our most physical game yet. However, the goal is just what Zeke needed to have the desire to get in there and participate. The last couple games he just hung back about 10 feet and watched everyone play. This time he was right in there with everyone else and doing his best to stay on his feet with the rest of his small team.
This is Zeke playing around at half time, but this is just what his goal looked like so we will pretend that I managed to catch the shot.
Look how big that kid is! Zeke is not small, but man that kid is huge!
A couple of our favorite spectators.
See how he is getting in there and playing hard.
Yet another huge player. Seriously, are these kids really only 4?
Zeke was so excited to get his medal after the game. I can't believe we only paid $10 for 4 games, a shirt, medal and entertainment. Not bad!
(Oh, one more funny story. There was a kid on the other team that was kind of a punk. You know the kind. He was staring our kids down and stuff. Anyway, as Zeke was running past him on the field a little behind the ball and the rest of the pack, he turned toward him, stuck his tongue out, and ran past. SOOO FUNNY!)
