Yesterday was Katelyn's first day of Soccer. She was so excited! We got up and dressed and went to the soccer fields at Asbell not really knowing what to expect for her first year. There was about 25 kiddos there to play, both boys and girls. They were all so cute in their soccer outfits! There were two coaches so they split up into two groups. We knew one of the little girls in our group but Katelyn made a new friend named Julia. They just moved here so it was a good opportunity for both of them. They played several little games that helped them learn some basic soccer terminology and Katelyn thought it was so much fun! They played the red light green light game. In this game you have to make small dribbles toward the goal when the coach says green light and put your foot on your ball and stop when the coach says red light. Katelyn didn't quite understand the concept of small dribbles so she was one of the first kids to the goal and back. She looked at me and goes "Mommy, I'm winning!" She was so excited and wanted lots of praise. It really is amazing how kids have such a competitive nature!
After practice we decided to make a trip Springfield to the bass pro shop. Justin is preparing for hunting season and we had been trying to tell Katelyn about alligator gar. She was wanting to see one. When we got there however, she was too preoccupied with the swimming turtles to say much about the gar. Justin got several things for his bow and Katelyn got to see lots of animals. We did get her a really cute camo hat that says future hunting princess. I think Justin really wishes that he could take her hunting too someday.
And of course since we were so close to Branson we had to make a pit stop at the Tanger outlet. I was wanting to get Katelyn her Halloween costume early. We went to the Disney store and they had all their outfits on sale. She decided it was between Belle or Jasmin. Since Jasmin was cheaper we went with that one but she really is going to be cute. We also went to Nike and were able to find her a new soccer ball since hers was the wrong size for only $6. I probably should have bought more and sold them on ebay because you can't even buy a soccer ball at Wal-mart that cheap much less a Nike one. Oh well....
