It was a great first exposure for Gabe and he now wants to play basketball more.
Gabriel and Karina also started spring soccer. Luckily, this spring has been mostly dry. They each have practice one night a week and a game on Saturdays.
Gabe has rotated into the goalie spot every once in a while. He loves playing in the game.
This is his team. This is the first time that he has been willing to pose in the group picture with the rest of his team.
And mid-season, Gabe's soccer cleats gave out. The sole detached from the shoe, so we make an impromptu trip to Big 5 and buy him another pair. Either the original pair of cleats were cheapo, or he did a lot of kicking with that foot. Here he is holding an old shoe and the new one.
We had a really really hot weekend recently. It was in the 80's.
Karina's reaction to the hot weather was to pour water on her head.
As for Gabe... For some reason, he decided that he needed to wear his sweatpants that day. That's why his hair is all sweat soaked. (And this is the same boy that wears shorts and a t-shirt in the winter when it's in the 40's out.) Not sure about his logic.
Karina also really enjoys soccer. She has really improved dribbling the ball and being more aggressive with her play.
She has also played goalie, which she says is a lot of pressure.
And we are working on her being able to kick with more power.
This is Karina's team. They've tied twice but won the rest of their games.
And the kids are also doing swimming. Karina is learning strokes and getting pretty good.
Gabe...well he still refuses putting his face in the water. This means that he is stuck in the first level of swimming and won't progress out of that class until then. He is not a fan of swim class, as you may be able to tell from this picture.
Hopefully some time soon he'll put his face in!
