Jake’s (and Dan’s) first soccer practice

So Dan is insisting that I learn to write in the family blog, so here I am.  He is totally patronizing me so I suggest to anyone out there who doesn’t know how to blog, don’t have a computer scientist teach you.  But now Dan is encouraging me to change the title of my blog entry to something else since I am not talking about the soccer practice and as I don’t know how or want to change the title I guess I had better start talking about Jake’s (and Dan’s) first soccer practice.

Jake had his first soccer practice yesterday and as his soccer coach is in our ward, Dan got suckered into being the assistant coach.  The best part of Jake’s team is that the coaches’ daughter choose the color of the teams uniforms and they are a very manly "salmon."  But I think that Dan and Jake are man enough to pull of the look but I guess you can all decide for yourself.

Jake is really excited about playing soccer especially since his friend Maddox is on his team. Their first practice went well.  They did one activity where all of the kids had to hold hands and then for the rest of the practice the kids thought that they had to hold hands no matter how their coaches tried to dissuade them.  They all had a lot of fun out there never mind the fact that they didn’t know which goal they were supposed to score in and continued kicking the ball regardless of the fact that it was way out of bounds.  But all in all it went well and Jake is excited to have his dad as a coach.

So I will conclude my blog post here and hopefully it will be satisfactory to my computer scientist husband.
