It's official... we are definitely a soccer family now! Ryan had her first "away" tournament with her new soccer team. The team has been practicing together since the spring but this was their first official time playing in a game situation. Ryan was so proud to be wearing the "BEACH" uniform! Can you believe it? Daddy even let us write on the car!! "Go Beach!"
Off to the first of 5 games for the weekend!
San Diego is a very big venue... the games spanned all over the county. Our Saturday games were actually just a few minutes from Jeff and Julie's new house! My bestie from college, Jenn Fletcher, also lives nearby and came to the game. Ryan had a whole entourage of fans!
Beach wins 6-0
We had a few hours in between games so we headed over to Jeff and Julie's new house to see the new digs and hang out with little pumpkin Annie.
Annie loved her auntie Lori, uncle Steve, and cousins Ryan and Charlie! She let us hold her and cuddle her and love on her so much!
Lots of love for Annie and LOVING the new house!!! So amazing!
We got Annie her first soccer ball :-)
Charlie was the baby photographer. Good job Char-Char
Gigi and Papa drove down for the afternoon game! Ryan loved having so many fans!
Beach wins 6-0 again! Go Beach!
First place in tournament at the end of Day 1
Little sisters make great cheerleaders!
Day #2
I didn't get any pictures from the first game of the day. I guess because it was such a nail biter, I forgot to take pictures. The game was in LaJolla so we went to breakfast with some friends at the Lodge in La Jolla. So yummy.
Beach wins 3-1
However, the afternoon game was back out in Scripps Ranch at Cathedral Catholic High School. Look at this venue!!! So amazing. Jenn Fletcher came back again to cheer us on. Ryan scored her first goal of the tournament within the first minute of the game. Mommy, Daddy, and Charlie ALL missed it by being in the bathroom. Ugh! Good thing she scored another beauty later in the game.
Beach wins Semi-Finals 6-0
Post Game coaches talk!
Nice win girls!
This picture doesn't do it justice... but do you know how hard it is to make dinner reservations for a WHOLE team?? Whoosh... but we did it! Famous Phil's BBQ for dinner.
Monday morning - Game #5
