Labor Day Tournament

Boston is blessed with a great soccer team and coaches.  All the boys get along, and have fun.  The coaches are committed and care about the boys.    All the families are very friendly, and his soccer team is like a soccer family.  This made the trip to San Diego for a tournament that much more enjoyable.  The boys have known about this tournament for awhile, and have been looking forward to it.  The team is new, and so we didn't know what to expect.   What they didn't expect was humid temps in the high 80's and fields that resembled mind fields.  The boys still made the best of it.  Danny drove down for the games.   The boys won their first game.  We went out out for a quick lunch at Rubios and headed back for game two.   The second game they lost.     They thought their chances at the Championship were lost.  We found out that if the team that played the one who beat us lost, we would have a chance.  So spirits were up, and we all enjoyed an evening at the hotel with pizza, swimming, and socializing.

Day two the boys anxiously watched as the team they needed to lose were shut out!  They had a chance for the Championship.  The game was so intense.  Their team had the ball on their end most of the time, and so many shots on goal.  Nothing would get in.  Boston had some great shots on goal and assists, but  nothing!  Then in the last half one of the kids accidentally made an own goal mistake.  There was no time to recover with two goals for the win.  The boys were sorely disappointed, but they all played so well.  It was a good experience for them.  After the game, we rushed back to the hotel and packed up and headed to Danny's. 

Surviving the Heat!

Taking a Nap!

With Danny at Last!
