If you are a sports family, then you can relate to how the games or events can take over your weekend. That was our family today.
I had a meeting this morning that I had to almost rush out of so that I could get home in time to change for the soccer tournament. I quickly scooped up the family, ice chest, chairs, canopy, cameras, sunscreen, hats, a folding table,  food, and drinks, and we headed to the tournament. (I’ve decided I need to find a yard sale wagon to tote our items from the car to the fields that are usually a long walk away). The hour and 10 minute drive took almost 2 hours because of turnpike traffic. We finally arrived at the event and were able to enjoy watching some quality soccer playing. Our day went from noon until we arrived home around 9:00 in the evening. This was for my second son. My oldest son had already played in a different soccer tournament this morning to help out another team. His games were an hour south in the opposite direction, so his day had started around 6:30 a.m. with my husband taxi-driving.
We may be a bit nutty choosing to do these kinds of activities on a volunteer basis, but I’m still a big believer in sports promoting so many healthy things for children.
We’ll do this all over again tomorrow, and that’s just 2 out of the 4 kids. Maybe we can have a sit-down, home-cooked meal tomorrow evening. Hoping my mother is game for cooking:)
