U13 Flames game

Today was a busy day. Previously I spent 6-8 hours planning the worship service for this morning. It was a lot of work! I never imagined that it would take that much time! Anyway... the service was very nice I thought and it went smoothly....and I am glad it is over.
Right after church Madison and I picked up Holyn and took off for Fort Wayne. Madison agreed to be a substitute for Coach Todd's U13 team (girls 13 or under). This is a league two age levels up from the one she is used to... they play with 11 on the field (instead of 7) and on a MUCH bigger field.
This is the first season that these girls have played together... and most have never played club soccer. We actually scored the first goal and kept up really well until towards the end of the first half, we went into half-time 1-4. They got creamed in the second half and lost 1-9. Madison played probably 2/3 of the game which was more than we expected. She had fun... even against girls much bigger than her.
Quinn played this afternoon too. Tony said he was still more timid than usual but played better. They tied against the Jr. Irish, 1-1. I wish I could have been there too.
We got back into town about 5:30 and met Tony & Quinn at B&P's for homemade pizza and icecream for dessert. We got home about 8:30. It was a good but long day.
One question for you... Where in the world did this weekend go?!
