We had to join in soccer late this year, but it was just nice that they made room for us. It has been the best part of the summer for the kids. We have spent most of the evenings for the last two weeks out at the Les Schwab fields watching kids practice or play a game. Jan and Alec got put on the same team and it has been nice to have them on the same schedule.
This past Saturday was in the 90's and we spent all day watching soccer. Pati played four games (5 minute quarters), Anne played 3 games (10 minute quarters) and Jan and Alec played four games also. Jan and Alec's team went undefeated and won the tournament. The most exciting thing was that their team really worked hard to play as a team, to learn how to set up and pass better. It was a great day even though it was so hot.
Monday morning, early, Jan set out for River Run Christian Horse Camp. Just three days this year, since it is her first year of being old enough and I think it would be better to save the longer camp for when she is older. This is really a dream come true for her and we were excited that she had the opportunity to go and do this. The younger kids are really happy for her, and are looking forward to being old enough to go do it too. This afternoon they were supposed to go float in the Crooked River which runs through the ranch. We can't wait to hear all about it when she gets home. Maybe I will ask her to write the next post !
