The Blue Dolphins.

This weekend, I went to Utah with my cousin and best friend. While there, I stayed at my aunt-in-law's house. (Yeah, try and figure that one out.) She and her husband have three children. Two little redhead twin girls Payton and Teegan, and an energetic five-year-old boy named Macrae. The second day we were there, Macrae had a soccer game with his team, The Blue Dolphins. I was really interested to see how this was gonna pan out...two teams of five-year-old kids playing soccer?

We drove out to a big field where tons of little boys and little girls wearing neon colored jerseys were playing soccer. Let me just tell you, it was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. These kids would run/waddle together in one big huddle, all trying to get the ball, and all trying to understand what their parents and coach were telling them to do. And no matter what direction it was, they would kick the ball straight in front of them. The parents and coaches were a little more enthusiastic than the kids. While Macrae's team played, one of the dad's was yelling, "Sienna! Get! The ball!" The grandmother next to us would yell, "Nice job number 16!" or "Yeah that's right Megan!" Seriously. They were like football fans. Then when someone would score, it was like they were celebrating New Year's for 30 seconds. These parents didn't mess around. The coach of the Blue Dolphins was a nice man who just wanted his little soccer team to win. One girl on the team had gotten her hair clip knocked off. She ran to the coach, waving the big blue flower in her hand and asked him to put it back in her hair. The coach quickly put her hair clip back in, and the little girl ran back into the game along with the coaches dignity.

Let's just say that I tried to hold my laughter in the entire time. You would too.
