Another Soccer Saturday

Ethan had his last soccer game

 He was very excited to get his first soccer trophy!

After Ethan's game, we were off to the beach for Brandon's training.  

 The boys ran for 40 minutes on the sand before heading up to run on the trail.

 Ethan and Cassidy played on the sand

Meanwhile, the boys played a little soccer and ran some more.

Playing in Portland

It was a beautiful spring day to walk around downtown and explore.  Food carts, book stores, the waterfront, and of course... dessert.

 Portland is a colorful city

 He had so much fun in these fountains

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.  There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

90 degrees and Still at the Field

 Three Amigos

 It's not hard to motivate the kids to do their drills when at the end of each turn they get to nail the coach with a water balloon!

Another Busy Soccer Day

 Ethan's game, where the rain decided to visit the kids

 A little later in the day, Brandon had to go to tryouts where the sun came out to play

 Then it was off to get a bite to eat and celebrate

Artfully fun

 "Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"... "It's like the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine..." - Frances Hodgson Burnett

 "Explore often.  Only then you will know how small you are and how big the world is." - Pradeepa Pandiyan

Ethan Loves the Dentist

I can't, for the life of me, figure out why!

Crazy Kid with the Crazy Hair

Hard Work

These boys run, and run, for 30-45 min. Then they train hard for the next 2 hours. By the end, they are all still smiling and begging to stay longer to play.

Saturday Soccer

The day began with Ethan's little game

 Then it was on to Brandon's training..... this week, a 5K run followed by a lot of work (and fun) in the sand.
