Meeting Postponed for a Good Reason!!

[Tenpoint5]

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.

Making it happen on Defense!!



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!!

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 to Rylan! 
The way I see it...
Sounds like there's 11 other teams that will always remember he beat THEM!

[ronbeaux]

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."
