Saturday AM

Today Zachary's game was not until 12. Unfortunately for us all, he also had picture day at 9am, which meant we would not have enough time to go to the Family Fun day at the YMCA which we have always loved. We were thinking about our friends Yong, Kai, and the N. family today, as we have done family fun day with them the last 2 years. Art took Zachary to picture day. Sorry, we did not order any, and I'm glad, because two player were not there. Plus we already have a cool team picture in front of their awesome ($16/family) Lasers x-wing fighter banner. I digress. When they got back, we had some time to let the boys practice their biking skills.

Our youngest on his balance bike, loving that he has his own bike! He keeps asking if he can ride Zachy bike; thinking he is the same age. HA!

We took the boys on a ride down to the park to play on the playground. Mostly they just kept riding their bikes instead of playing on the playground. Yannick and Wyatt even took their bikes onto the playground equipment. :) After a bit we had to head home to make lunches for W and N to take with us to Z's soccer game.

The game went well, Zachary played well, and it was the best that Yannick has behaved. Zachary was having a hard time keeping in front of the ball. He would make a good pass, but then sort of chase the guy with the ball instead of going in front of him to give that guy the opportunity to pass to him. After the game, I asked him about it. His reply: Well, they are all faster than me and I get tired pretty quickly. I am more like a cheetah who can run really really fast, but not for long before I need a rest.

A cheetah.

And of course after the game, all the kids had to play Four Square for as long as the parents would allow it. Z has taken to bringing his 4S ball to the games AND to practice so they can play afterwards. All the parents are full of eye rolls at this game. I am just so happy to see that other kids are obsessed by it, and not just Zachary!
