Caida's tournament was really just the last game of the sseason and at the end they handed out participation trophies and, what seemed to be much more important, hotdogs! I was so proud of Caida. She actually kicked the ball once. It only went about 3 feet but everyone cheered like she was the best player out there. Partially because the other parents knew Caida never kicked the ball, and the other part of it was because she had just gotten hit in the face by the soccer ball and everyone was really excited when she stuck her thumbs up in the air to say she was okay and staying in the game! I can't wait to figure out what she is doing next...probably not soccer, though. LOL
Then we went out to Steak N' Shake and we all got very unhealthy, but awesome tasting shakes. After everyone got so full they thought they may explode, we went to the pumpkin patch around here. It was big, very commercial. Pretty pricey but pretty fun, too. I wish we could have stayed longer and done more, but the activities weren't very interactive anyway and everyone was so tired from the long day. Next year we will do our research a little better but we definitely had a good time just being outside and doing something different!
My pumpkin may look lumpy, but it actually resembles a skull quite a bit, so we will have to see how creative I can get when we carve pumpkins this weekend. Halloween is on a Sunday this year and Caida has Friday and Monday off for the fall break. Should make for an interesting weekend. So excited!!!
She looks cute in her soccer outfit!! It is hard to know what they are going to like or be good at when they are that little so it is fun to try different things:) Cayden just finished soccer too. He seems to enjoy it so we will probably keep going until he wants to do something different. Carlie has danced since she was 3 and loves it so until she wants to do something different we will just stick with that:) It will be fun to see what Caida does next!!
ReplyDeleteCaida was sooo cute out there cheering for herself! I can't believe she handled it so well!
ReplyDelete"What was your favorite part, Caida?"
"When I kicked the ball. I just knew I'd get a trophy!"
