The office staff and I organized a football game at the
Aldea and it was so much fun.
It wasn’t just for the kids, it was office staff, the tias,
the moms and volunteers (i.e. me!) Since I wanted to play but was also in
charge of pics, I let some of the girls who were too cute to run around, take
pics for me.
As a result the majority of the pictures were the tops of
their heads as the modeled for the camera and inadvertently cut each other out
of the shot , but they did get some far away action shots.
I got a chance to play, but a lot of the time I was caring
for the little ones who wanted to be on the field in the middle of the action
but not really play. One little girl wanted to hold my hand the whole time and
not run. That got complicated but we worked it out. Every time the “captain” of
our team i.e. the maintenance man of the Aldea, saw me, he’d be like “are we
babysitting or playin!?”. So sometimes I had to just leave my little girl and
come back to hear after I was done playing defense.
Some of the moms scored goals which was so much fun to see and my legs were literally sore for at least 3 days. There was great team work too. The teen boys that usually take over and dominate the game where giving the younger kids a chance to kick the ball and score goals as well. It is so much fun to just let loose and have good times with the Aldea community. I look forward to planning another tournament like this one.
