Almost like kissin' your sister (or brother as the case may be...)

We had a very long day on the soccer field(s) today. Our day started early, as Megan's game was at 8:30. She had a very exciting game. They were down 2-0 at the end of the first quarter, but managed to come back and tie it up 2-2. Megan played 2 quarters in the goal, and while I HATE having my kid in goal, she did a great job. She had an amazing save, and she is anxious to write all about it on her blog, so you will have to check that out in a day or so. In the end the game ended in a 2-2 tie, although the girls played their hearts out. Megan played the whole game, and didn't need her inhaler once.

We had a bit of time to kill before Josh's game at 11:00, so we ran over to Wal-Mart and grabbed a few munchies. Josh's game was very exciting to watch. He is now in the U16 division... and those boys (and girls) know how to play. They no longer take quarter breaks at this age. They sub players in and out, and play 40 minute halves. Josh played defender this game, and was up against some tough competition. He did a great job, and I was so impressed watching him play. You would never know that he took 2 years off from playing. In the end, his team tied, 2-2, as well.

Kyle had the last game of the day... a 2:45 game, which was 30 minutes late getting started. He played all over the field today, and did a great job. He was able to breathe just fine during the game, and we were very grateful for that. To be honest, it was a pretty boring game... Kyle's team went up 6-0 by half-time. That turned out to be the final score... his coach pulled all his forewards to the back of the field, and the defenders moved up. While no one else scored, we had several great shots on the goal, and Kyle almost scored one. We had laughed that if his game ended in a 2-2 tie as well, that it would be just a bit creepy!

Kayti was a great blessing today, and chose to stay home from the early games to clean house for us. I don't think it was that great of a sacrifice for her, as she is not much of a sports lover.

The day has been cloudy and threatening rain, so I didn't take my camera with me. I didn't want to run the chance of it getting wet, although it never did actually rain. While I hated that I didn't get any great shots of the kids, I was thankful for the cloudy, breezy weather. I don't think that I could have taken a day of sweltering sun. I've still got 1 1/2 more months of games to get plenty of pictures!
