Soccer is done and a camping trip!

 

We finally finished up the soccer season. Here are a few pictures of the kids' last day, it was freezing here so they were really bundled up. The last video is Grace's team. They do these insanely long, complicated cheers before they go out on the field. I finally got a video of one on the last day! She really liked that team, so it turned out to be a good season for her. She really improved her playing a lot, and was quite a competitor! The boys also did improve this year, too. A lot less standing around and more going after the ball.

The boy's cub scout pack had a campout the same weekend as the last soccer games. Brian and all three kids went. It was freezing here, so we had to pack lots of warm clothes, long underwear, fleeces and lots of sleeping bags and blankets. The low was about 38 degrees that night they were out! But, they had lot of hot cocoa and a big fire, so they were warm enough. They got to shoot BB guns, do archery, play flashlight tag, look at stars (when there weren't clouds) and eat cook-out food. They slept on the ground and Brian could barely walk the next day, but the kids had a blast. I also had a good time - I stayed home and got the house cleaned, went out to dinner with my friends, slept in - it was nice!  Enjoy the pictures! More to come later!
