What do you do when you are a 9-year-old boy with a couple of bottle lambs???

You teach them how to play soccer!

It all started when the lambs were returned from their temporary mom, she did a fabulous job raising them and feeding them every few hours, as bottle lambs require at a young age.  She called a couple weeks ago and said it was time for them to come back to the farm.  Our son was thrilled to take over their care and has done such a good job with them.

He has been reading to them, mainly from a book about playing soccer.

Today was such a nice day, they decided to try their new-found skills out on the soccer field.

I love how you can capture moments like this, it truly looks like Ruby just head butted the soccer ball.

Sometimes a player gets distracted and has to be called back for the game…good thing he has been teaching them their names!

Back to the game!

They had quite the cheering section and I think a few of them were a little jealous.  Maybe he can recruit a few more for a full soccer team.
