Spring Soccer

Spring Soccer started this week. Rebekah had a blast playing her version of the sport. Most of her play looked like a one child entertainment skit.
Practicing her jumps in a field clearly overrun by dandelions.
And now her best running man moves.
Her coach was impressed with her affinity for push ups. He asked for suggestions during warm ups, and Rebekah chose push ups. She later completed no fewer than five additional sets during the practice, randomly dropping out of the game at her own choosing.

The question here was who wants to be goalie? See how she's standing on her tippy toes? She's being strategic in her tactics, trying to make herself appear as tall and opposing as the coach's other option. Her friend Gabe was sent to guard the net.
Now she's break dancing. We have no idea where she learned all these crazy cool dance skills :-)

No practice is complete without this all important soccer skill: The Bridge. Quick, everyone, bridge up! We'll send mass confusion among our opponents when we simultaneously form a bridge across the field ~ or they'll score a goal really quickly ~ that could probably happen too!
The end of practice chase through the dandelions. They were kicking white dandelion fuzz everywhere, it looked like a storm.
About five seconds after I took this photo she said, "Phew, I am tired." Which made sense, she was like the little energizer bunny out there, if only she could channel that energy into playing soccer as opposed to all her other silly antics. I love this sweet girl and her playful unpredictability.
