Ra-Ra-Ra-Rainbow Unicorns!

Yesterday Payton competed in her very first soccer game ever. She is a member of the Rainbow Unicorns. When I found out the team name, I laughed out loud because there could not be a more fitting name for Payton's team (unless is was the cheetahs or something :)). Her team is a part of Littleton Soccer Club which is the same league that I played in growing up. She is playing on some of the same fields I played on twenty years ago! Payton and her five teammates had three, one hour practices leading up to the game. The play three on three with goals the size of hockey goals. She was very excited, and a little nervous in the days leading up to the game...
Warming Up...
Payton had a very large fan club. Opa, Uncle Markie, Uncle Bradley, Nolan, Heath, Dad, Mom, and Brady were all there to cheer her on. We even made signs!Payton, Haley, and Avery were the first subs. They did a great job cheering on their teammates!
Action Shots...
And Live Action Footage...

One of Payton's two favorite parts of the game. Half-time. They got to eat grapes as their snacks.
The Fan Club...Mike and Ikes made sitting and cheering ok.
Payton's second favorite part of the game...the post-game tunnel and snacks and juices boxes.
In the end, the Rainbow Unicorns were victorious. We're not supposed to keep score, but of course, we do. :) Can't wait until next week's game!
