A Day at Thetford Forest

One of the things I love about England is the number of forest parks. I enjoy a day out in Thetford Forest because there is always something going on.
Mega slide





Playing some frisbee and kicking around the soccer ball
One of Bella's friends happened to be there, too




There is archery there now, too.







Little man had to watch

Bella Briggs, Soccer Star

This was Bella's 4th soccer season. Her dad and I thoroughly enjoy watching her love, learn and play the game of soccer. Each year she learns more about the game and improves all of her skills. As I have said before, it is extra special for me because I played for most of my life. When I see her play, it brings back so many memories of my own childhood and it creates a special bond between us.  I marvel at the fact that she plays against boys, too.  In fact, she found it hard to believe that one day she will have to play only against girls.  LOL
Bella scored the first goal of the season during the first game and brought this home!


End of the year awards and pizza party

Off to a Great Start

Little guy started Smart Start Soccer this year. It was every Friday and I had to participate with him. I enjoyed every minute....well.....except when he preferred rolling around instead of following directions. Oh well, he's only 3!
Warm up lap





Uh, Soccer Angels?

Soccer cutie

When he wasn't rolling on the ground, he had some great skills.

His favorite drill was kicking on goal.  

Just a little rest


Getting his certificate

Very proud little dude!
