Labor Day Tournaments

Busy holiday weekend. Gary and I had to separate this weekend. Vincent had a soccer tournament in Tukwilla- close to home. And Andrew had a tournament in Puyallup. Not close to home.
Andrew and I decided to spend the night and the weekend in Puyallup. Not the same entertainment options open as Bellevue. But we had great time together. We saw two movies and played some new Lego board game. Hung out at the mall and watched a lot of soccer.
Gary and Vincent had some really exciting games I hear. They won all but the last one. They missed being in the playoffs by 1 goal. They were up against some really great clubs and they gave them all a run for their money. Vincent even had a Hat Trick at one game. That is scoring 3 goals in one game. I am so bummed I missed that. Of course no photos. With Gary being in a cast it is hard for him to manage a camera. I was able to see the last game. But it was a night game and the camera just does not do well in low light situations. Hummmm....time for new camera?


Andrew's game was played in a cool farm field situation. The local Indian tribes were also having a Pow-wow across the field. We could hear there chanting in the back ground. Pretty cool. I tried to go and take a peak, but the timing was off. When I had the chance to see them were not performing.




Camera Crew!
We have a great talent pool for photographers on Andrews team! I think we got them well covered in this area!



Andrew had a great time playing soccer...when he got to. Unfortunately there were a lot of players on the team and Andrew and a few other boys spent a lot of time on the bench. The average for a 30 minute half, Andrew got to play 6 minutes. We are hoping when the normal season starts he will get some more playing time. As it is a Recreational team.
All is well and Gary sees the doctor tomorrow and gets a new cast on. We hope he is recovering well. He is very eager to be moving along the recovery route. Aren't we all. :-)
Monday we got to sleep in! In our own beds! We had good intentions of getting a lot done. But instead we hung out and did nothing but be couch potatoes. Back to normal Tuesday. Early morning Seminary starts for Vincent. Being there at 6am is pretty early! Yikes....:-)
