Soccer, School, and Splashpads

Ava started soccer drill sessions in October. Surprisingly, Ali loves the soccer as much as her big sister – she even manages to dribble the ball fairly well.
Ava is working on her dribbling.

And shooting.
While Ali keeps at it with the (barefoot) dribbling.
Ava’s school had two events in October. First, they did a “Dad and kids” day on a Saturday. Ali liked the cuddly teddy bear in one of the rooms.

Next, Ava’s class performed a few songs during the Sunday church service. While Ava seemed to have a bit of stage fright at first, she eventually got into it.

We also make good use of the splashpads around. The Scottsdale Quarter shopping area has one that is good for the kids. Ava is quick to make friends with other kids…here they are on the “hill”…

And then watching the clouds in the sky.

Hanging out on the benches.

While Ali is having fun in the splashpad.
Soon big sister joins the fun…

We’ve continued our fun time at the park as well. Ali is always on the go.

While Ava gets better at the bike.

And Ali likes to ham it up!
She’s even a happy kid when she wakes up from her nap.

One more video of the girls...

Got to run after the kids!
