Tourney Update

It was a looong weekend, but I think we all had fun! We decided to take the kids to see Shrek the 3rd on Friday night. A funny little distraction from the stressful two days ahead!

We took 2 teams to the tournament. Fury III got us going with 2 games Saturday afternoon and then Fury I played at 5pm. We lost all 3 games. Heartbreaking, but a good learning experience for all of us. We all met at Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner, so if the boys were disappointed about the losses it was pretty hard to tell! Sunday was more of the same, except that Fury I managed to win their last game of the day. That was exciting and I'm really glad that the boys were able to go home with at least 1 win under their belts.

Jake was a secondary player on Fury I, so he spent most of his time like this (which I think was more than ok with him!)...
I love this look on his face!
Jake made a very courageous ball stop with his belly in their last game. Oy, it was so loud and he said it stung... A LOT! Jay was teasing that he probably had a soccer ball imprinted on his belly. I'm actually surprised that it didn't leave a mark! One of the nice things about having your dad be a coach is that he gets to do the comforting after an injury. Such a sweet moment :)
We get to do it all again in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to it although I know it's going to be crazy since we're taking all 3 teams. You want to watch all the games to show team support, but dang, that's a lot of soccer to watch in 2 days!! Jay will be racing in Topeka that weekend, so he'll actually get a soccer break... lucky!
