Tails and Friends

Good evening everyone! Happy Father's Day to everyone (a bit late) today. Hope you all enjoyed your day. We enjoyed our first week of Summer break (well, Mia did at least) She had her 2 full days of Critter Camp and absolutely enjoyed it. Helped a ton that she had one of her best friends Noelle with her as well. They got to play with cats, dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits at HAWS. The humane society has dozens of great camps for kids starting at 7 years old to maybe 12? She'll probably ask to do it again next Summer as well. I had to draw her a very cute lunch bag sketch of her favorite cat Marie, which of course she loved :) .

World Cup started this week and there already have been some shocking results with Iceland drawing Argentina and Mexico beating Brazil today. It'll be a fun and intense tournament. Friday started my 3-day weekend which was much-needed. Took some time off to enjoy some family time, and take in some Torrent games. Friday was a big math. The boys in blue took on DCFC, which is always intense. Their supporters always travel to watch their team, so they had brought about 17-25 fans. Last season, at least 50 people came by bus. The match was close and despite an obvious goal by us that bounced around the posts, the thugs of DCFC got the 1-0 win. Playoffs out of the question and at this point, the men's team are playing just to finish the season strong. They take on DCFC in Detroit and have one more league match against Columbus FC. It was a frustrating match but we sang and drummed our hearts out. My brother Andy joined me as well so it was fun overall. Saturday, we had a nice dinner with family and our travel buddy Leanne came up. Gave my Dad his Torrent socks he just HAD to have despite skipping every home match this season. Boo!

Sunday (today) was Father's Day. Mia and Jill spoiled me with some of my favorite candy and a nice "all about Dad" she wrote about. Love the diva. Later, I went to the Fan Fest for the Torrent. The Women's and Men's team played co-ed against each other including the coach/owner which was pretty fun to watch. The weather was pretty hot but all in all, great time. I snagged Mia a poster and she's planning on having a few players sign it at Wednesday's women's match. Maybe do a walk out with the players, who knows, but she's pretty stoked about it. Back to work this week tomorrow. Still working out plans for the weekend. Only 20 some-odd days left before our big trip! Jill and I got our new rash guards in the mail so we're ready for the ocean!

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
