Back From Our Short Trip

We ran down to see my nephew play in his soccer tournament. It's too bad that we don't live closer. Have never gotten to see him or his sister play anything because we live about 12 hours away. Since his tournament was in Portland, it was a doable drive for us.

Got there on Friday evening and found out that our motel room only had 1 bed to it for 4 people and no rollaways to be had. All other rooms were booked up. Thank goodness they gave us a king size bed. At least 3 of us got something to sleep on. One of my sons had to sleep in the chair.

Anyway, my nephew, had a good first game. He headed in a ball to score at the beginning of the game. His team held onto the lead but lost it in the second half when the opposing team scored 3 goals. The next day, my nephew was injured in the first minute of the game and then was benched for the remainder. A little bit of a downer for us but his team did well and won.

We had to leave after that to go home. My nephew was able to play the next day and they won their semi-final match but still haven't heard from my brother whether they took home the championship or not.
