Goooooaaaall !

Max has spent the last four years perfecting his soccer skills in the backyard. Tired of the lack of competition provided by Mommy and Daddy, Max believed he was ready for a larger stage. Enter: Soccer Season 2012. The excitement about his first team sport was only overshadowed by the excitement of his first pair of "soccer pants". He wore the athletic pants around the house for weeks despite the heat!

Go, Gold Team!


The Gladiators take the field.


Hmm....not sure what to do next.


Result: Ensuing massacre by the Red Team.
(I swear some of those kids were eight year old ringers.)


The situation was so dire that spectators had to be pulled onto the field.
Come on, Claire, the team needs our help!


The Orange Team provided a more appropriate match up.


But the fate of the Gold warriors did not improve.


Max shows off his skills




and heads for the goal!


Success eluded the Gold Team until encountering the Blue Team, which was filled with mostly 3 year old newbies.


In the last game of the season, Number 4 scored 4 goals! 
Gooooooaaaaaalllll!



Our soccer star is already asking when the next season will begin!
Now, how many juice boxes would it take to tempt the Red players to trade sides?
