This was his first season playing soccer and he had so much fun that he doesn't want to try any of the other sports. So, right now, the plan is to sign him up for fall soccer. (Pending Baby Sparks arrival, of course. Not sure how up I will be for all of the practices and games with a newborn in tow!) Here is a picture of E.'s team after the game, ending with a record of 5-1-2.
Down on the farm
Earlier in the week, the kids and I went to a place called Suson Farm. (Basically, a small farm with farm animals. Very important for the city folk, who don't know what things like sheep are!) While we were there, the oddest thing happened. At the far end of the farm they have a bull, somewhat near the pasture for the horses, donkey, and mule. The bull almost scared us because he just carried on the whole time we were there ... stomping, snorting, etc. Well, a group of high school girls walked up to see the horses and immediately the horses, the donkey, and the mule all ran over to them. Very odd when there were 5-10 people already at the fence--including us--who didn't peak their interest at all for the prior 10 minutes. But the really peculiar thing was that one of the high school girls shrieked, "Oh, a cow!" and went prancing and mooing--literally!--over toward the bull. One of her friends laughed and said, "She really likes cows. She has a special connection with them." Yeah, special connection or not, that was one angry bull! The next thing I know, I don't hear the bull making a sound. I turned around, fully expecting to see him try and charge her, but he is up at the fence letting this mooing girl pet him! It was like he became a little puppy dog. So bizarre. If a cable network is ever looking for a cow whisperer, she would be just the person!
