Pacific Coast Challenge 2009-Vincent

We are the Champions!

We spent the weekend in Bellingham for a soccer tournament. Vincent's team did very well. They came in first place! They played 5 tough games in 3 days. It was interesting to see how different the teams played. Being on a Premier team is alot different than what we are used to.
The boys did get to play a Lake Hills select team during the tournament. It was fun to see boys that we have know for a long time and their parents. Vincent and the boys had a slow start to that game. I think they were trying too hard to beat their friends. They won in the end. Good thing. It would have been hard to live down.
Vincent had a some great games. He played Right Back position. His team has started to figure out that his side line throw ins are huge. They are working on getting some plays to go with it. Vincent scored a goal from a corner kick! It just curved right in the top corner! It was pretty amazing.
Vincent got new shoes right before the games. Not good timing, but his old ones were falling apart and we had to exchange them for new ones. Of course Vincent did not want to wear band aids to protect his feet. So he has some big blisters now and walks alittle funny. Oh why don't they learn to listen to their mothers?
Good job Vincent! Keep up the good work!

Wow your kids have gotten so big. I guess mine have, too, but I see them everyday! I am a bit sad that I never saw your parents the entire time we lived in UT.

I jumped over here from facebook, my blog is a bit anonymous. It is nice to see everyone from Bellevue 6th has facebook accounts so I can keep up.
