While this weekend was good one for C, it was an amazing one for H. His team was in a tournament in Madison all weekend. I dropped him off at his coach's house first thing in the morning so he could get a ride there, and so I could take C to his game (he had to miss one today though). I was sad to miss the first game, which the U11 Whites won. But we made it to the second. (It didn't go very well.) Madison is about 1.5 hours away from us, so many people spent the weekend, including us. We stayed at a hotel along with half the team, as well as some players from the other U11 team and one of the U12 teams. The kids and parents basically took over the pool and the lobby area, and all of us had a really great time. The morning was spent swimming again. I wasn't quite sure how they would play after over two hours of hanging out in a pool, but guess what? They did great. They won 8-1. And the best part was the incredible goal H made! It was from near the corner and just arched right into the net. Everyone -- parents and players -- was cheering for him. It was pretty awesome. The team just missed out on being in the playoffs, but still, it was such a great weekend.
