A Long, Long Soccer Weekend

 Well that's another soccer season done with,

and three of our four teams made it to the finals today

We started yesterday morning at 8 a.m and after 8 games

yesterday and 5 more today our last

game was today at 5:30....well, it was supposed to be

until a young guy in the game before ours had a collision

in front of the net which is quite normal, except for the fact

that when he got up he kinda staggered around a bit

like he was drunk and then just crashed to the ground.

I think he passed out but they were worried about a

concussion because he fell so hard, so he lay there flat

on his back till an ambulance came and put him in a neck

brace and took him away on the stretcher.

That plus the fact that it started to rain before the ambulance

left so they finished the rest of their game and then when it

started to pour they held off on our game hoping it would slow

down so we could play. It did and we played the game,

all of us soaked and shivering after being in the 28 degree

sunshine all the rest of the weekend, lol!!

Only problem left was wondering who I was supposed

to be cheering for because both Cody and Colin were

playing in this final and of course they are on opposite teams, lol!

Here they are at the end of the game, which went into

overtime, just as a playoff game should

Cody's team ended up winning 2-1 in sudden death overtime

but that was better at least than having to go into a

shootout! They are waiting to get their medallions

Cody is sitting in the white and Colin is green #3 on the right

Hannah was also in the playoffs today and though

her team made it to the final they lost 1-0.

By this time of the day the kids were getting loopy, lol,

running into each other and falling down alot

so as you can see below, any chance to rest was taken lol

This is Hannah in the net and her friend Hannah being

her defence, lol

Colton's team didn't make it into the playoffs for today

but yesterday in his last game he got two goals

so was very proud of himself for giving it a valiant effort.

He played goal for the whole first half so that was

quite a feat

Here he is, the second yellow player from the left

just after taking a shot on net.

I am on a hill taking the pic and watching Colin's game

while Mike was down watching Colton's, lol.

It's real nice that all the fields are right together,

definitely when you have 4 kids playing

We had a great weekend, the weather held out till

late today and we had alot of fun watching the kids

and all their friends play and have a great time!
