Back Off Mia Hamm...

Today was Lena's first day of soccer. She is on a team of 8 other little girls...GO PURPLE BUTTERFLIES!!! They don't have any practices...just play games. They donned their purple uniforms (Lena is #4) and hit the field. This week they played against The Thunder (an all boys team...some of them were pretty big...I even spotted the beginnings of a mustache on one boy!). Even though the boys only had four players on their team they were still able to score 26 goals to our zero. Technically the girls did score a goal, but in the wrong net. However, afterwards they all raced to the snack shack for smoothies and Lena commented that it was better to be the zeros because the other team didn't get a treat!!! Oh, yeah, Annika was there with her pom poms to cheer on her new favorite team!!!
