Weekend Update, Part 2

Northwest Nationals warming up before their game this past weekend...
Well, it was a rough one. Izzy played on a hot day, and they had no subs (2 girls were sick). The other team was fairly aggressive, as in pushing with open hands a lot...and the ref had no problem with it. That part was very frustrating. So there we were, watching foul after foul being let go. One of our girls was getting pushed, so she pushed back and the ref called a foul on US (even though it was our girl laying on the ground) and he gave the other team a penalty shot...it was like giving the a goal!


Her team did lose 0-3. I have to say the other team's goalie was really good, and had an awesome drop kick every time! Two of our girls collided with a 3rd player (from the other team) and our girls were not getting up off the ground. Of course, as they lay there not moving, the ref continued to let the game be played. What the heck was wrong with this guy? Our 2 girls finally got up and played the last 10 minutes. When they came out, one had a purple knot on her cheek (ouch!) and was crying, and the other had a bump on her forehead. What a day!!

Isabelle and Maria packed up after the soccer games and went to the Husky game with Grandma. It was such a beautiful day, we thought it would be fun for them! Next week I promise to have the zoom lens on the camera for better shots!

Geez, sorry!!! Uncle Loren really saved the day by taking the girls into the stadium to meet Grandma, and keeping a parental eye on ALL the girls!!
