Recess was crazy. The girls threw around a football a bit before playing duck-duck-goose. It was a beautiful day and she truly appreciated that I could join her. Saturday was a busy day, that she was looking forward to all week. Not just her soccer game, but Family Sci-Fi day AND Auntie Leanne was coming to town. First, we had to get her to team picture day with her team. One by one, the girls arrived at the venue ready for their pictures. We were only missing one kid, but we'll do another team photo at the last game with their medals. The kids did well and listened and after, we met at the field for warm ups. I had our goal scorer Kylee do some passing to her teammates to get them to shoot.
Then, it was game time.
My starting line up was a bit different. I started Cecilia as striker instead of Mia so she could get a good idea on how things should go up front. Kylee and Cecilia worked well together and Kylee started tallying up some goals. Defense played well, holding their positions and clearing out the ball. One almost got a goal when she took a turn up front. Half time, I had Kylee in the back while some of the younger less-experienced players take a stab at strikers. Some did well, others were lost at times, but in the end, all had a great time and we won 4-3. Everyone played well and are looking forward to their next game. Wednesday is practice, but I have to keep an eye on the weather because I heard there are possible storms coming.
After wards, we jetted home, quickly changed into our Star Wars costumes and went to the Family Sci-Fi Day at Discovery World. We had an absolute blast. There were a pair of stormtroopers greeting guests outside so we quickly snapped a picture with them. Mia ran into school friend Ryan and her family, so we hung out with them. It was nice that she got to spend time with a friend at the event. The kids got as many pictures with the different characters as possible including Kylo Ren (who stabbed me after I took the picture), some sort of snow bounty hunter, Darth Vader, R2D2, Luke Skywalker and more. They checked out the different weapons and played with the wide variety of scientific things. They loved all the Legos and before we left, we went to a lightsaber bat lit talk about which weapon is cooler. They didn't care for that as much and were bummed they missed the Lightsaber 101 class due to their earlier soccer games. All in all, they had some much fun. I sincerely wish I could get some trooper armor and participate in the charity work they do. I imagined how fun it'd be to direct traffic at Mia's school since the drivers rarely see kids trying to cross, or playing wit the kids at recess as a trooper. We stopped over to say hi to R2 again before meeting up with Jill, Tommy and Leanne. A quick visit to the beach and we headed home.
Later, we went to the China Lights for a 2nd year. Great lights, super crowded and very cold but overall, fun time. Sunday, Jill, Leanne and Mia went pumpkin/apple picking while I went to work.
This week, hopefully a practice and Mia's got an 11:30 match. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
