Go China!

This week Jacob participated in soccer camp through the YMCA. They taught them soccer skills, working as a team, leadership skills, and confidence. It was so much fun to watch! On the first day the coaches divided the kids into 4 teams. Each team represented a country and they played World Cup style soccer. Jacob's team was China and had to wear red every day to represent his country. On Thursday it was "Dress Up the Coach Day". The kids brought in some crazy things for the coaches to wear. Coach Ross (Jacob's coach) wore a kimono and a sombrero for the entire practice. The kids loved it!


Today was the final day of soccer. The coaches explained that each team received points on goals scored, teamwork, effort, and the team flags. Can you guess who won?? CHINA!! Jacob was super excited about his team winning! He looked over at me and said, "Can you believe it?" I can't believe I was all teary eyed!!


Tonight we are going to celebrate Team China and go out for a nice Chinese dinner! Go China!
