Anna's Magic Medal

First soccer season EVER! It all went well.. .unless you want to rack up the rain-outs and various mysterious viruses that kept us off the field. All in all, Anna learned how to pick dandelions, complete a full jumping jack and eat lots of watermelon at "snack break"... that's my kinda soccer playin!
