Soccer weekend

We enjoyed a late afternoon game on Saturday up in Redmond, the fall colors were absolutely gorgeous (in between the torrential downpours).  It would rain buckets, and then clear up, alternating throughout the game.  The girls love to play when it's wet though, go figure.  Emma's team is wearing pink jerseys for breast cancer awareness month, it's a nice burst of color on the field for a change.



We beat Crossfire 2-0!  That helped us move up a spot in the standings.  After the Redmond game Emma and I joined two other moms and their girls for a trip over the pass to Yakima.  Since we were already on the east side of Seattle, it cut about 45 minutes off of our trip had we left from home.  We joined the gold team at a really nice Hilton Garden Inn downtown to play in their game on Sunday afternoon.

We got adjoining rooms and of course the three girls claimed one side to themselves - which was just fine, they had a really fun time together.  They all play defender positions, so they got a chance to bond together away from the rest of the team.  Emma enjoyed a dip in the indoor pool, we had a scrumptious breakfast at IHOP, and then played a quick game before coming back over late Sunday.  Funny, I didn't get any pictures of the girls on this trip, but I managed to get one of my friend Amy and me.
