Soccer
Family
For over 10 years, Brenda and I spent the majority of our weekends at Amanda’s soccer games. When she graduated from high school, she stopped playing, so no more soccer games for us.
But she’s playing again, this time on a co-ed team. The team is very good. They made it into the playoffs, won all their games, and last night they had their “Super-Bowl.” Brenda, Gabe, Julian and I went to cheer her on (and by “cheer her on,” I mean of course, “embarrass her”) . It was the first time I’d seen Amanda play since she was in high school. The level of play is very high. The combination of of the guys’ speed and power, and the finesse of the girls is fun to watch. The teams were tied at the end of the game, so it came down to a shoot-out. Sadly, Amanda’s team came up short and the other team won the game. Stupid shoot-out!
I have no pictures of the game, but I do have these 9 year-old pictures of Amanda playing soccer. And that’s pretty much the same thing, right?
