What a Great Sports Day!

Well, this was such a great day for sports in our family. Grammy and Papa drove all the way up here just so they could watch the kids play, which the kids were so excited about. They even seemed to understand the significance of them driving so far just for them. So, naturally, I was hoping for a good day.

It started off with Alex's game. Although his team was the better team, it was a close game. Alex (aka Raz - his chosen name since there were 2 Alex's on his team) played really well and scored his first, and the team's winning, goal in the last few minutes of the game. It was very exciting.

Unfortunately, we did miss out on Rachel's game because her field was too wet to play on. But, we took the kids to a pumpkin patch to entertain them.

Then, we headed to Zack's game. It was a romp. They won 13-1. Zack scored 4 goals pretty quickly, including this one and had to be held back a little to play defense.




Then, just to make it really exciting, UVA, despite being the big underdog, pulled off a 31-0 win. My parents headed down to the game that day, but we had to just follow it on the internet. But, boy, that was exciting. I wish we could have been there.
