tournaments

 We had a soccer weekend.  Friday night Big played in a charity soccer tournament dubbed "Claire's Cup".  A little girl in our community is battling leukemia and she is a soccer player from a soccer family.  E went with him  ostensibly to watch, however he and the other sons all spent the three hours playing soccer in empty fields, getting muddy and running in the woods. 
The girls and I went to the ward service project so we didn't get to watch but I heard everything went well.
 Saturday was the Kohl's Cup.  Our team split into 3 teams of 4 to play against each other and the other teams in short field, fast paced, jungle ball style soccer.  E's team won 5 games and ended up the champions in their age bracket.  E himself scored 5 goals.  The boys had a "best day of my life" kind of great time.  E came home as dirty as I have ever seen him, and sporting a new trophy for his collection.
The weather really was lovely and we all had a nice day.
