Sunday afternoon I was supposed to have a meet and greet with Squirt, Hal, and Seemore to do a little horsetrading (That will be another thread when it happens). I had to call everyone and postpone it for a couple of weeks. As it happens my kids had a soccer tournament this weekend. My older two kids (10 & 11) were eliminated after their second game. My middle boy's (9) team made it to the Championship Game. Which was on Sunday at 1:30 (Horsetrading meeting was at 2ish a 2hour drive away) Just a couple of pics.

We Lost the game 3-1. We finished Second out of 13 teams. We got a trophy!! After I told Rylan I was proud of him, I asked him if he knew what second place was? He said NO. So I told him it was the first LOSER!! ;D ;D We laughed and then we took the family out for Ice Cream!!

Good for them!
Congrats to Ryan and the whole Family.
Wish I could still run. ;D
Awesome! Congratulations. We just took our son to his first soccer clinic and he are signing him up for the 18-24 month old clinic.
Congratulations to Ryan.
1 question: looking at pic #2 -do all the parents hide under the shaded pavillion? ;D

Them was the other teams parents ours where all in the sun on chairs and bleachers cheering our kids on!! That second pic is my favorite, I just wish I had a better camera to get good close ups. I think there is only a couple blades of grass holding Rylan down.
Congrats Rylan!
Edited to correct spelling.
Cool beans
Congrats Rylan ;D
I knew that
You guys are going to get me in trouble!! I can hear it now "Dad that's not my name! They spelled it wrong!" it is not a typo his name his Rylan (Ry-Lan) ;D ;D
Awesome job and Congratulations!!!
Congrats to the 9 year old child of 10.5 whose name now escapes me. ;D
Congratulations Rylan and to your teammates and parents as well.
Congrats to Rylan!
The way I see it...
Sounds like there's 11 other teams that will always remember he beat THEM!
first loser is better than 2nd or 3rd loser! congrats. looks like fun. bet it makes you a proud papa
Cool!
At least they had a loser and not a "You guys did great(even though you finished dead azz last) wasn't that fun!" "Oh those guys just got that trophy because they have played more games than you guys."
Congrats to Rylan's team!
Heck they can only get one better! Maybe next year!
That's a great reason for a delay. In fact, I can think of none better. Congrat's to your guys for a great showing, 2nd place or other.
Way to go, Dad!
