And Of Course There Is Soccer

Besides having a great visit with family, celebrating a birthday and Easter, and enjoying a great road trip, there was also soccer.

The Colorado Rapids and the Seattle Sounders met in a soccer match at Dick Sporting Goods Park, near Denver, on Good Friday evening.  Jake and a friend flew in from Seattle and the rest of us met up with them and other Seattle supporters in the parking lot before the match.

It was sunny but windy so we layered on the sounders gear.  The stadium, built for soccer, is a nice facility, and since it was only about half full, the kids had freedom to move and roam.

The good news is that Seattle won, 1-0, but the bad news is that we lost one of our star players with a severe double break of his lower right leg.

This morning the Frog FC has a double header at Jaycee Park in Fort Morgan.  There was less drama on field, although it did try to snow during the play! 

The Frogs lost one and won one, and Coach Jill reports much improved field play.

And this afternoon we'll all sitting around playing with technology.  Currently there are three lap tops in play.

But now I need to go play with Irene.  She's been waiting.
