Tournament Time

Although Savannah practices soccer all year long she hasn't played in any games since March; the spring league her team plays in has all Sunday games. Since it's been awhile we were all definitely excited for the first tournament of the season! Her coach picked several players from both the A and B teams to participate in this tournament so we were so glad she was one of the ones selected.  Unfortunately the team really struggled in their first game and ended up losing 2-1, the other team scoring their two goals off penalty kicks.
Rather than watching Savannah play, Noah usually has his nose in his DS but he actually had something more fun to play with at this game - this cute little Chihuahua puppy! What a little cutie! He was so itsy-bitsy!
The next day the girls had a lot more pep to their play and ended up winning their first game of the day, 1-0, with the only goal coming with just 20 seconds left in the game. It was really exciting! By the second game of the day and their final game of the tournament, the girls were in top form, beating that team 5-0.
Under the point system of the tournament, Savannah's team was able to win the whole thing despite the one loss. They all loaded in the truck to head over to the main tent to get their trophies.
First place always feels real good!
