Sky's Soccer Game

Sky has his back to the camera, but this captures what a kicker he is. Last season, the coach handed Sky the ball almost every time they got a free kick. Daniel takes him to the regulation size footbal goal at the high school to practice kicking field goals. He's already kicking them through, almost as easy as pie... he has a very straight, skilled and determined kick for a 7 year old! Reminds me of the ancient Mayan game of Pok-A-Tok and how they used to kick primitive rubber balls through stone holes over 3,500 years ago (hands weren't allowed in that game either). It's in his genes!
It was the first soccer game of the Spring season. I wasn't able to attend because I had to stay home for Liam, but Daniel went and said it was a great game. He can tell the team's skill level is improving since they started in the Fall of their kindergarten year... Come to think of it, this is his 4th Soccer season. Wow!
