Now that the business is out of the way, let me tell you about this past weekend...
IT WAS GREAT!!!!! Not as great as it could have been, but still pretty great.
It was a "divide and conquer" soccer weekend. As I'm pretty sure I've mentioned, older son and younger son both play club soccer. They often have tournaments and games on the same weekend, at different locations. And by different locations, I usually mean different cities or states.
This weekend, older son had a tournament about 2 hours away that involved an overnight stay on Friday and Saturday nights. We decided it best that Mom go with him.
Younger son was within driving distance both days, so Dad stayed with him and took him to his tournament.
Older son's team won both games on Saturday and qualified for the final on Sunday. Younger son had a head-to-head collision with another player (he's a goalkeeper) early in his first game. Medical thought that he might have a concussion, but that was officially ruled out the next morning and he got to play again Sunday after sitting out on Saturday. The team split on Saturday, so we didn't know whether they'd make the final or not.
Older son and Mom got to spend lots of time together, including eating with the team on Saturday. Younger son and Dad also got to spend time together, watching soccer games and going home and chilling out together.
Younger son's team lost on Sunday, so they were eliminated from the tournament. Just got outmatched by the other team. Older son's team WON their age bracket and he got his first Champion medal after getting 3 or 4 Finalist medals over the years.
Dad and younger son got a treat on the way home from the games on Saturday. Son got a soft serve cone and Dad got a BIG Coke Zero.
Dad got to play FIFA 16 on the XBox with younger son a couple of times over the weekend, and lost three times.
Mom got to watch older son's team play like a well-oiled machine and win a championship. She got to ride home with him and his friend and their family and revel in the post-winning loud boy conversation.
Sunday afternoon I had my first rehearsal for 1776. A little rocky learning the music, but it will be fine. Nice to get back at it again.
Mom and older son got home and we reunited, hearing all about each other's weekends. We missed all being together, but it was still a great weekend.
And I did some running too.
See you tomorrow!!!
