here we are, 10 or 11 days into september. and i've blogged all of 4 times, including this post. pathetic. i have excuses and explanations. but that doesn't do anything for you all that come so faithfully to read my blog. lol! figured i'd better stop by and share something. dug out these soccer photos.
this was from the girls first games, about 3 weeks ago. both girls moved up an age bracket this year. we have alyssa on under-14's, and she's on the pink panthers. do you like her uniform? she doesn't. i don't. you would think that with all the pretty colors in the rainbow, that they could come up with a few good colors for the teams. how on earth did they get this awful, baby pink jersey? with a baby blue stripe to top it off. and there are pink socks too. there was a team with this color last year. and every single time i saw them, i would comment about how ugly their uniforms were. serves me right, i guess, that we should end up with this color. lol! moving on. we have sarah on under-12's this year, and she's on the arsenol. black uniform, with red flames. can't find anything wrong with that. except that it's not the best color to be wearing on the hot days that we have.
so it's the first game. and i bring my camera. and i actually take out my camera. which i didn't do much last season. i would bring it, but not use it. sadly, my 75-300mm lens (or is it 70-300mm?) isn't focusing. at all. which just stinks. because the fields are huge, and the action is always on the other side of the field, right? lol! i had to use my other lens, which didn't get me great shots. i gave up rather quickly. still havn't checked what's wrong with the lens. i'm not sure i want to know.
they both did great at their first games. sarah had an awesome goal, which i actually got play by play shots of her going all the way down. alyssa played midfield quite a bit that game. not her favorite position, but she does it well. i had to miss their second games, since i was out of town for something secretive. lol! of course, they both had top notch games when i wasn't there to see them. alyssa scored a goal, and had 2 assists. and sarah scored 2 goals, or 3 if you count the one that the referee later changed his mind about. lol! then we had a week off of games over labor day weekend. but we're back at it on saturday. guess i better get that lens out and see if it magically fixed itself 😉
