LSU Girls Soccer team...

Last night B and I made the trek back out to Baton Rouge (after having spent half the day there shopping!) to see the LSU Girls Soccer team play. B's soccer team was asked to be ball girls for the game and B readily agreed. We bought her a purple soccer shirt while in Academy (her uniform isn't in yet and that's her team's colors) and got her ready.

She did really well on the field. Caught a number of balls, tossed them back to the girls, chatted up anyone within hearing distance (she comes by it honestly!), and high-fived a bunch of them while they were hanging at the bench. When LSU makes a goal they throw out 'Winner' plastic soccer balls to the crowd. They can be turned in for LSU Crocs-you know those plastic shoes that everyone seems to love. I tried to get one for her while she was down there, but it didn't happen. Funny thing is, one bounced out of the stands and onto the sidelines of the field where she saw it and ran to get it! Some of the people in the crowd were yelling: "You go Ball Girl!" and she was all grins and excitement! I wish I'd have gotten a pic of it, but I'd just put the darn camera away...hate when that happens! Unfortunately they didn't have her size in the crocs so we got the smallest they did have and we'll take them back next game to see if they have some then.

She is (and I quote) "so glad that she is playing soccer 'cause that was so awesome and fun and they (the LSU Lady Tigers) said I was cute!"

Here are a few pics from the game. Afterwards we got all the girls together for a group shot at the goal and then a bunch of players came out and had the girls get up on their backs for another pic. B asked a bunch of them to sign her shirt and they obliged. She was so thrilled. I'm going to put her shirt up in a shadow box with some pictures and let her keep that. Oh and the Lady Tigers won: 5-0!
