2014-2015 Kids Sports

Our rule:

The kids are given the option to choose ONE money-costing, time-consuming extra-curricular activity each year. (They can also choose nothing.) 

Little short term things like a one-time competition, after school activities (like chess club) where I just pick them up late, and of course church activities (like boy scouts) don't count toward that limit. Most years we have had combined activities (like 3 girls all taking dance)...but not this year. 

We've never had it quite as chaotic as this year! We have 4 activities for 4 kids at mostly different times and locations. Plus, the twins are now 8 and can go to Wednesday night church-sponsored activities.

So now that you've had the boring mom-talk, let's get on with the pictures, as promised!

Carolyn - Tennis lessons (group)

Kaitlyn - recreational gymnastics (group class)

Seth - rec soccer

His favorite position is goalie

Natalie - rec soccer

 She is rarely near the ball as she is timid and won't shove her way into the crowd to get to the ball, but occasionally she gets a chance.

For some of them, this was their first time participating in their chosen sport.
They have grown and had fun and I have enjoyed watching them learn and grow and now I'm ready for a break! :)
Tennis is done for now.
Soccer is 2 weeks from being done and gymnastics is 4 weeks from being done for the summer.
