Champions

The Zion Crusaders soccer team won the championship at the Battle Creek tournament this weekend. Saturday was a nice fall day, little breeze, just about right weather - and they won both games. Sunday was cold - the wind was about 40 mph with big gusts - and it started snowing during the second game! Poor kids were out there running their little hearts out - and it was Akaela's last soccer tournament...:-(
The kids had a blast, swimming at the hotel and Alex was a riot in his little floaty bathing suit. The group that went out to dinner with us learned a new old story about Ter and have been teasing him mercilessly about his biscuits ever since.
We had a fun time with the Zion group, as always, and that is what I will miss more than I can say as the kids grow up and move on. We'll just have to make a pact to stay friends and hang out as much as we can, but I am so grateful to have had this time with all of our friends and our kids are all more like cousins or siblings than classmates.
Anyhow it seems I'm a bit melancholy tonite - I best go get some sleep!
Blessings,
Lisa
