Coach Dad

Kristin's team of 13 girls breaks into 2 squads on game days and they play games on adjacent fields. One of the team's coaches is on vacation and the normal backup coach was unavailable today. So the backup-backup filled in. That would be me. It was fun and I got to coach Kristin's squad. And by 'coach', I mean that I spread out the playing time and tried to remember all the girls names. We have identical twins on the team! Kristin played well on defense and made several goal-line saves when the other team was making rushes.

Kellen had fun too since there was a playground really close to the game fields at this particular park. The games are at different parks every week.

This afternoon we went to the pumpkin patch. They take you on a hay wagon to the pumpkin 'patch' to pick out your pumpkins. It's really just a flat field where they truck in alreay-picked pumpkins. But it's a fun atmosphere and we had an absolutely perfect day for it today.
