Mermaids 8 -- Bluebonnets 4 (10/6/07)

What a great game on Saturday! Mackenzi was so excited - we had plans for some family to come see her game and then celebrate Brian's birthday afterwards. Unfortunately the highway was closed for Memaw and Pepaw (they did eventually find another route - but didn't make the game) but Aunt Sara and Uncle Phillip made it! Kenzi was a little bit shy about getting out there and showing them all she's got - but she still did play a great game. She scored two goals this game!

The Mermaids were definitely dominating the game. . .when one team is ahead by 4 or more points, the other team is allowed to add an additional player to the field. Up to this point, the other teams we've played have been able to add players - but the Mermaids have remained consistent with just their 3 on the field at a time. Once the Bluebonnets were able to add another player, they were able to begin scoring on the Mermaids. A few goals might have slipped by Kenzi when she was being shy paying attention to Uncle Phillip on the sidelines! Nonetheless, it was a great game, and the girls had a lot of fun!
Memaw and Pepaw made it to the house and we went to dinner with them for Brian's birthday. We had a great time, and Kenzi got to play a little more soccer in the backyard with Aunt Sara and Uncle Phillip. She was definitely not shy then! (It won't let me post pictures, but I will try again later!)
