A few weeks ago Danny wrapped up his season practicing with the DC United sponsored youth league. It's been really fun for him and super convenient for us, as his after school teachers walk him and his classmates down to a Rec Center about a block from our house for practices several days a week.
I love walking home from the Metro on the days that he is at the field, scanning the gaggle of kids to see his distinctive run. And I also love the big "hi Mommy" he yells when he spots me!
Well for their last big hurrah, they got to go to RFK stadium and play a tournament with all the other kids in the city who are sponsored by DC United. They didn't play in the stadium itself, but the practice fields outside the venue were really nice and in spite of the cold, we had a great time.
Here are a few shots I captured. Although he is not always in goal, he loves to get the chance to play goalie, and frankly, it's easier to take his pic when he is more stationary.
I have really loved watching him blossom at this game. For a little guy, he's doing really well. Without further ado...heeeeeer's Danny!

| The day started with fun and games, and meeting Talon, the DC United Mascot. |
 |
| Then it was time to get in the game. I believe his exact words here were "Pick me! I'm good!". Ah the humility! |
 |
| With exquisite concentration he awaits the other team's attack. |
 |
| Rut roh! But hey, he did okay. I don't think he actually gave up any goals n this game. |
 |
| Of course being a good sport is super important, so there were lots of high fives and shouts of "good game! |
 |
