Yes Brooklyn's team the Thunderbolts fell to defeat 6-2 on Saturday but not without a concerted amount of effort by the "Ts" as a whole. Brooklyn was off to a slow start in the first half but rallied after a very frustrating 20 minutes proclaiming, "I wish I could trip them all." I told her to channel that energy and go get "her ball" back from them. She played much more aggressively the 2nd half and got thumbs up from the whole family for a worthwhile effort. At first even Papa Vic wondered why she had gotten the nickname "fireball" from her coach but Brooklyn proved her metal and we were all glad we made the lengthy drive up to Grass Valley. In a show of solidarity Brooklyn and her team-mates sprayed their hair yellow, except the blondes of course. It really came out looking more like lime green or that they had spent too much time in an over chlorinated pool but oh well, at least it wasn't permenant.
Love that ponytail flying straight out the back.
The girl in blue sure looks strange here. Action shots can be pretty funny

Papa Vic wondered how Brookie got the name fireball?? ? I was just thinking how lucky you are that she didn't actually "trip them all." I'll bet she turns out to be a great little player.
ReplyDeleteMaddie did soccer for a couple of seasons, but when we found out that her favorite part was actually the snacks, we decided it wasn't worth the time spent standing on the field.
