Sanford Soccer Tournament 2012

This is the height of the soccer season.  It's  far away and there is a lot of waiting around between games.  There is a ton of spirit.  They sell tons of food and spray paint for hair (all the kids spray paint their hair).  The boys are playing hard.  One game was hard to watch.  The ref didn't have control and the boys were getting super physical.  They ended up with a loss in that game. and one boy from the other team was REALLY hurt at the end, jusst hard and frustrating.   NO one wants to see kids getting hurt.

Trevor played goalie for the first half of three of the games.  I think he likes the pressure and attention of trying to make a good "stop".  By the time this tourney is over, I feel like I'm at mile 22 of the marathon.  Cooked.  It's super fun and fast paced  I LOVE watching this sport (if I ever figure out what off sides means), but it's cold, and rainy and dark most of the time when they boys are finishing up practice.  On the other hand, I feel so blessed that we have this time, a boy who has the ability to do all that he does.  A boy that has the ability to be good friends with everyone on the team.  AS as he gets older, teams are going to be so important.  So proud of you boy!
