The last week in sports

Soccer-
Carter has grown leaps and bounds in the last few weeks in soccer.  Two weeks ago he scored his first goal, Mom and Dad were super proud.  We taught him how to do a slide tackle when playing defense and he did great job with it, even forced another kid to face plant.  Before we taught him this, his defense consisted of him running up and giving the kid with the ball a forearm shiver, don't get me wrong, I was proud, but there were nasty looks from the other kid's parents.  Of course at the next practice the coach informed us that a slide tackle is illegal in the Under 8 division.  Oops.  Now last week, he stepped it up even more by scoring two goals!

Golf-
Golf has had trouble with the rain that we have gotten the last week, but Carter has had two "meets" this week.  They let the kids play one hole and start from the 150 yard marker.  The first night Carter scored an 8, which is better than his dad usually does.  The second night he scored a 9.  He has to use a set of clubs from the course, beings that he is left handed and we only have right handed clubs.
