The Season Is Finally Over

We spent this whole weekend at the soccer park because Caden played in the AYSO sectionals. There were teams from all over central California.  Saturday he had three games and they did pretty good, they tied two and won one, so they moved on to Sunday and had to play 2 games today. They lost their first game so they had to play one more game to see who would get 3rd or 4th place. They played so hard, they were all so tired! Towards the end of the game the other team made a point and right at the end Caden scored one for our team. It went into over time and then the other team scored. :(  They lost 2 to 1. The boys were all sad! The lady in charge came over and congratulated the boys for going so far, she said that it was the furthest any Bakersfield boys u10 team had gotten! 4th out of all Central California. The boys were still upset, but they should be proud of themselves, they did great!! It was a great ending to a 7 month soccer season!

 Here is another group picture, they all look the same, but oh well.
Here are the boys before the last game. The coach had a good friend of his die today, in between the two games he went to the hospital to be with him. Then he came back to coach the team, what a guy! 
Here we are waiting in between games. It wasn't that hot today but sitting out there for so many hours we all got some good sunburns!

The kids were exhausted, both days on the way home they all fell asleep. Yesterday after the games Brad asked all of them if they wanted to take a nap by him (thinking they all would say no) Caden said I will, once his head hit the pillow he was out! That is not normal for him, he must be drained!

Have to love those long soccer weekends. I can't believe you guys are playing soccer outside in February. That is such a foreign concept here. We have been playing indoor soccer since November. That is so cool that Caden was part of a team that made Bakersfield History. Sounds like he has an awesome coach. Awesome coaches are the best. Enjoy your time off from soccer I'm sure it will start again soon.

P.S. I love the picture of them sleeping. Too Cute. Also, the green hills are so pretty! I love spring there - everything is so green! Things are thawing out here but the grass is still really dead.
