Shawn had his first soccer tournament in Lincoln, Nebraska the first weeekend in June. It was a lot of fun to get to know the boys and their parents better while staying in a hotel for 2 full days and sitting on the sidelines for many hours. The name of Shawn's team is the Kansas City Fusion. They are in the 1st division in our area and they are pretty good!! They played 3 games and won 2 out of the 3.
Shawn is #3 and has bright florescent green shoes, so it is very easy to spot him on the field. He is very good with the ball and loves to play soccer and be with his soccer friends. They had so much fun that weekend I am sure they are very excited for the next tournament.
Here they are getting a pep talk from Coach Mo after one of the games. Their coach is very good about encouraging them and making sure they know their strengths and talking positive to them. Coach Mo also plays on the indoor soccer team that Chris plays on every friday night.
Here is cutie pie James siting on all our luggage while we are getting ready to leave the hotel. It was alittle challenging to have him there with all the coming and goings. He didn't quite get the sleep that he usually gets, but he did pretty good. Plus he is a bit hard to have at the games because he doesn't want to watch much, we are usually taking turns chasing him around the sidelines.
Here is Shawn right as he is about to make a goal. He plays center mid-field so that allows him to make plenty of goals- and he usually makes at least one a game if not more.
Here they are after running around the hotel for hours in between games. They played hide and seek and chase and whatever else they could think of. They also had a lot of fun going up and down in the elevator. We stayed at the Embassy Suites so there are a lot of floors and the elevator is clear so they can watch as they go up and down...
Here is a great team picture minus Shawn, he is the only one that had to look away. The sun was in their face so they look pretty good for all of them squinting. This was after their last game and right before we went to have a big team dinner.
We had a nice time at the dinner and at the end they gave the boys their medals and they were all wearing their tournament t-shirts. We went to Valentinos Pizza for dinner. They had an all you can eat buffet and the boys ate a lot. Mikey ate the most, the Fusion boys were all betting Mikey that he couldn't eat as much as he got - and he had no trouble eating it all. Then he went and got a bunch of desert to top it all off. It was pretty impressive. I have a picture, but I have no idea how to get it on here anymore, so use your imagination.
