Home Again, Home Again, Jiggidy-Jig

I'll try to catch you all up without being boring. Niagara Falls was great last Thursday. We went out on the Maid of the Mist and saw the Falls up close. It was all kind of a dejavu' from last summer. However... we enjoyed a beautiful rainbow while out on the boat. I have some awesome pictures. That was so special! We stayed overnight in Erie, PA and drove the rest of the way on Friday. We got home at 3:30... in time for the bus to come 20-30 minutes later. The kids were so happy to see me, they nearly knocked me down one at a time as they ran full speed from the bus into my arms. So cute.

Madison had a CYS tournament game on Friday night. They lost to a team that they've beaten twice this year already. Figures that they would loose in the tourney doesn't it? Her CYS season ended with a 5-4-1 record.

Saturday involved 3 soccer games, one right after the other. Madison had a Flames game at 10:30, Quinn had a CYS tournament game at 12noon and he had a Flames game in Chesterton at 2:30. It pretty much took the whole day. They won all 3 games so that was a bonus. Quinn scored 2 goals in the Chesterton game. He played goalie for the whole CYS game. His coach called and left us a message... she was sorry that he had to play goalie the whole game but "we wouldn't have won without him back there." That was really nice wasn't it? His CYS team will play in the championship game next Saturday. During regular season play his team's record was 4-5-1. They won their first tournament game last week and now they just beat the #1 team in order to make it to the finals. Wow!

Today was church and Quinn had a Flames game at 1:30 against FC Indiana (yes, that was 5 games this weekend). They won 3-1 and Quinn scored a goal. It was blazing hot... I'm telling you! We are having abnormally HOT Fall days... high 80's. YUCK!

Mom and Aunt Fern left this morning after we left for church. They had gotten their full share of soccer games for sure but I think they enjoyed them.

I haven't even down loaded my pictures yet from our trip. I'll let you know when I've had a chance to update my blog with my vacation pictures.
