The Weekend in Sports

What a weekend for sports! Both kids had soccer games. Lauren's team played very well again. They came out strong, scoring right away. Once again, the other team came back and tied the game by the end of the first quarter. By the end of the game they were down 4-2. Their record just does not reflect how hard they have been playing. Jason's team tied this week. Once again, I was at Lauren's game and John was at Jason's game, so I didn't get the details. I do know that they boys had to play the whole game because they had a couple boys out so they were pretty tired by the end. Jason was not too tired to go play at a friend's house after, though. That saved him from having to go sit through Lauren's swim meet.

Speaking of swim meets. . . Lauren also swam on Saturday and Sunday. She did very well in all of her races. Due to just aging up, and never swimming short course before, she was entered in each race with "no time." She did so well in her 100 breaststroke that she won her heat. She is very close to her red time in that event. Her 50 and 100 free were both strong and she looked so good! Some of those swimmer genes must have gotten passed on to her. Unfortunately, I confused her with the 100 back and gave her wrong information that got her disqualified. I told her she could take too many strokes in the flip turn so the nice lady in the white shirt visited her lane at the end of the race. Now we will know for next time. The only other meet this year is in November so we will see how she does then.

John refereed a soccer game as he does every week. He refs the U10 boys games and really seems to enjoy it. I think he would really like to get into refereeing other sports, like water polo, as well. He seems to be good at reffing the soccer, at least. I often have people come up and tell me that he was the ref for their child's game and that he did a good job. It keeps him out of trouble.
