Gymnastics and Soccer

Landon has been going to gymnastics for the past month and absolutely loves it! For some reason my camera does not take very good pictures in the gym so one of these days I will remember to take the other camera.
The boys got to meet Sebastian Velasquez from Real Salt Lake professional soccer team. He was at the field watching a friends son play soccer on the opposing team and our coach asked him if he would ref the game, not knowing at the time who he was. As soon as Sebastian pulled his bleached "rat tail" out from under his jacket, the gig was up. All the parents, kids and coaches started to recognize the player.
When our coach asked him if he would ref Sebastian said "Well I don't really like refs, but I guess I'll do it." Soon we figured out why he doesn't like refs. :)
Sebastian was really down to earth and being new to the US for only a couple of months, he is still not used to going places and being recognized. Hard not to recognize that "rat tail". He was such a good sport, sticking around after the game and taking lots of pictures with the kids.
Such a fun day!!
At home on many evenings and on Saturdays, our front yard turns into the local soccer field for all the kids in the neighborhood. I love to watch them all playing outside and getting along with kids of all different ages.
