Phew! What a weekend. My daughter Erin had soccer tournament all weekend. She was 1 of 2 girls on the all boy team and she kicked some major butt! She scored two goals and had several assists. And her team took 3rd Place!!! They played their butts off. Couldn’t be more proud. Here are a few photos from this weekend!
First up this is a pic of my daughter Erin and one of her BFF’s and the only other girl on the team Jos.
Then, here’s the start of their game on Saturday. Erin is playing right forward (woot-woot). She also had the 1st goal of this game.
And here we have my daughter taking a break to pose for the camera (eventhough the game is still going on–ahh, a little over confident–LOL).
Yes, my daughter’s friend Justin also wanted to pose even though the other team was about ready to do a throw-in (LOL).
Erin is in the midst of doing a header (sweet move).
The coach promised the kids if they won their game, he’d paint his hair purple to match theirs.
And speaking of purple hair, here is the whole team sporting team spirit with purple hair!
After 3 days of 85-93 degree weather, Erin’s team wins 3rd place in the tournament.
Of course, if you win, you have to dump something on the coach!
Back home: Erin showing off her lovely trophy (and sunburned face).

Congrats! Looks like they did a great job!
Vanessa,
It was so fun to watch. The whole team works together so well. They’ve been playing together (well-most of them) for a few years now. So they can kind of anticipate one another’s moves or know who to get the ball too etc.
Not only are they teammates, but they’re friends too. Erin is hoping her coach decides to do it again. She’s kind of sad because although several of them will be moving up to the next age bracket in the fall, she knows about 4-5 of the players will be staying down (as they’re a year younger). So they won’t have their “full” team together. But, my son Chase, will be moving up to that bracket so she hopes he’s on their team so she can still drop in to their practices/games.
Congrats!! Ah, Rebekah, she looks so much like you!! So pretty!! Yay for her on her scores as well!!
Thanks Traci,
She was SO excited. All she’s been talking about for weeks now has been tournament. And now she’s really looking forward to next soccer season. She’s definitely a cutie! ((HUGS)) thanks for dropping by.
