Both the River Belles and the Intruders played in a Jackson soccer tournament this weekend. The kids both had a lot of play time, James had some great saves and assists, Cora made a lot of goal shots and had one beautiful success, and lots of progress was made on both teams. The girls' second game got stormed out after 15 minutes (and ended in a tie when the refs held off on calling our game even though lightning was all around and all other games were stopping) and the fields were VERY muddy throughout the tournament, but especially on the second day. The boys best game was the one that the girls watched in full from the sidelines, cheering them on (loudly)!
We tried to wait out the storm (because the tourney wasn't called for the day, just paused), but the enormity of the radar finally cancelled all the 4:00 games and postponed the later games until 8:00. We were not sad to head home (though I highly disliked driving in the pouring rain).
Day two:
(This one was my favorite shot of his games - great kick and great save!)
(When your last game is done and sugar is no longer a performance concern, Mama buys you a treat - as long as you share at least a tiny bit!)
