The Turner Family

Hi turner family!! Its Cori!! I got an account on the blog!! I'm still trying to figure everything out but I think I got it. What is every body up to?

Abbey (number 4) ready for the toss at the beginning of one of three games during a Saturday tounament in East Lansing. Uncle Jason, Grampa, Grandma, and Cory came to watch the last game of the day. Started out very overcast and dreary, but cleared off and got sunny in anticipation of all the visitors. Abbey again ready at the draw after a goal was scored by the bad guys. Abbey attacks the net as her friend Madison (22) looks on. Abbey with the ball charging down field. Not as easy as it looks from the sidelines. Abbey shows the athletic ability she obviously didn't get from her Dad while back peddling to defend her goal from the opposition. Later that day we took the sticks to Grandma's house for dinner and Abbey, Cory and Uncle Jason played catch in the backyard for quite some time. This practice or words of wisdom from her Uncle must have worked as she was more aggressive the rest of the season digging out ground balls against opponents. Great first year overall ...

The games yesterday were wet and the fields reflected the weather, as did the kiddies. Tiffani suggested a picture after the game, with both a front and back shot, but only some of the troops cooperated or understood. That's Seamus's distraction -- er, best buddy, Max -- on his left. Dylan, 4th from left, had no qualms about walking directly to each puddle to stand in, reveling in the quality of the mud, flicking it with his cleats toward the goalie coach (me) like a bull preparing to charge.

In the instruction phase, it's all about the confidence. In the aftermath, it's all about the freedom. Family friendly edit Original, adult version
