back to the owners lol!
Hope to have some of our own one day - why should our kids not know what suffering
is like we went through!!!
Only kidding - I doubt you could ever get tired of Samantha Mandrake...and our two sons
were no trouble at all..they're both adults now but still drop by all the time just to say hi
and see what's new. By the way - Victoria has so many damned rules about flying a quad copter
that Chris has just about given up on it. Almost no areas that he is permitted to fly unless he heads
a long way out of the city.

Samantha is so adorable. It looks like she is always in the heart of action. Your grandkids surely bring you a lot of joy, don't they! :)

The set of pics turned out great!
I really like the last one with the pose and look on Samantha's face. 
Looks like she just scored the game winning goal and is accepting the
accolades from her adoring fans lol!

Thanks, guys.... I really appreciate your comments.
She is eight and rather petite.  
I give her a lot of credit for playing with all her heart against sometimes much larger girls.

My son was the same way... always the smallest on the field.  He played high school JV soccer in 7th grade when he was 4'10" tall against 6+ foot 10th and 11th graders.  Was a little nerve racking, but luckily he didn't get hurt.  He's grown a lot in the past two years (now 5'8") and we can no longer just spot him on the field by looking for the smallest kid.

I really do have to get comfortable with continuous focus in burst mode for sports photography.
Jacob's football season starts shortly, so I'm determined to learn.
