Soccer, Colts & Summer Fun!

Patrick played Lil Kickers soccer this summer with his cousin Ryan and had a ball! Here they are kicking goals!


They listened so well to their coaches, who taught them different drills and games to play.

Their siblings enjoyed some time outside as well! Here's too-cool-for-school - Nate...

And his beautiful cousins - Carolyn & Rachel! They were a big help entertaining Nathaniel during practice!
Patrick & Ryan had fun together, being silly off the field too.


But Patrick's favorite part was the end - when they all put their hands together and yelled TEAM!
This summer also brought the finished Lucas Stadium! We braved the crowds (barely surviving meltdowns - mainly mine) to see the tour. We ran into our friends Dan & Bill. Here's Brian, Dan & the boys in the hall.

Patrick was very proud to be there...


Nate had fun on the field!

And, Patrick was in awe.
Now, of course, Patrick wants to know when we get to go to a Colts game! (Me too!)


This summer was also filled with lots of time at the park with friends - here's Patrick hanging from the ropes at Holliday Park.

And Nate with his buddy Zach sitting on the "magic carpet"

And, here's the gang - Jake, Zach & Patrick (Nate refused to pose) at Holland Park!

My favorite park memory this summer, I don't have on film - but Rosie & I let our boys (Patrick, Nate & Sam) jump in mud puddles until they were covered from head to toe. Julia had better sense, as did the other parents who glared at us for being so ridiculous! But, they had so much fun - it was worth it! The socks still have a brown hue... but it was quite a time.
And, almost every Monday after soccer - the kids would play at Lawrence Park. Here's Patrick and his cousin Ryan as they walked together toward their fun! How sweet!
