the boys finished up soccer just a couple days before we left town. perfect timing.
there was a big soccer jamboree scheduled for the last weekend, where the kids would receive their medals, play in bouncy houses, participate in fun competitions, and eat tasty food.
unfortunately, the saturday it was planned for was cold and rainy.. so they pushed it to sunday.
and sunday started out even rainy-er!
holden's time slot was right first thing in the morning. and we got drenched!
most of the team didn't end up showing up (don't blame them) so the coach quickly tossed the medals around the kids and we headed out.
chet's time slot was a bit later in the day and the rain kinda let up by then so we got to enjoy some of the fun activities that were planned.
again, most of the team didn't show up, so the medal ceremony was even more informal then holden's, but chet still had a fun time.
there was never a more misfit team then the tigers - the timid kid, the punch-throwing kid, the slide-tackling kid (no matter how many times he was told it was against the rules) , the kid who always wore dark sunglasses, the kid who showed half way through the game/practice every single time, the talented kid, and the kid whose jersey fit him like pooh bears shirt and who always kicked his leg so high he kicked other kids in the head.
i swear they could make a movie about this team!
i am excited to get the boys back into soccer soon.
