There is nothing like a beautiful day in late summer, especially when a grandchild is playing in a soccer game. Rachael is on a team called the "Tangerines," and rightly so, because of the color of their uniforms. "Watermelons" is the name of the other team.
The sun was blinding, and Rachael had to shade her face often, but this little obstacle was not a problem as the game progressed. I was surprised at how much teamwork there was this year as opposed to last year; even so, our girl showed great athletic ability when it came time for her to go after the ball.
Notice the determination on her face in the following photo. She is not one to go unnoticed during intense play.
The next two pictures show Rachael attacking the ball, and then moving it to the goal.
We were all proud of her play. I believe her mother was very happy and proud of her. Water seems to hit the spot during this little time-out. Notice that she is looming at the camera with great suspicion.
Rachael is posing while eating this candy snack. One does have to keep up the blood/sugar level during a game.
Other spectators at the game were Erin and Jenna.

Great post! She told me on the way home that she is going to keep playing soccer until she's an old lady. I hope so!
