Bend It Like Beckham....or maybe just run around really fast

Micro soccer is a rite of passage. At least, it should be.

Hayden is currently playing in the Ft. Lewis Bumblebee Soccer League, practicing every Tuesday and Thursday night with games on Saturday morning. Mind you, it's not as involved as it seems since the practices involve chasing the coach around the field and ignoring their parents, but it's mighty entertaining nonetheless.

Karen and Michael were able to see a practice and a game during their visit to the Pacific Northwest this week. Below is a clip from Hayden's game on Saturday (he's the one in the black shirt and gray pants).

The two boys he's following around are his "best soccer friends" Kayden and Aiden. Also notice the little boy collecting a pile of leaves, completely oblivious to the game going on around him. At one point, Karen stepped on the field to get a better video and accidentally stepped on the sacred pile. The boy yelled at Karen, then was yelled at by his parents. Fun all around!
