Dream Team

May 23, 2022

Ah, The Dream Team!! Formerly known as The Narwhals, formerly known as The Glitter Unicorns, formerly known as The Sparkle Unicorn Sprinkle Marshmallow Blueberries or was it The Blueberry Cupcake Sparkle Princess Unicorns? Not sure but I do know they’ve always dominated! Samantha has been a soccer star back to her first team, The Lemons, that had 3 of the current team members. This season was no different! They had a great season and Samantha, once again, proved she’s got some mad soccer skills!!

The Dream Team ended the season as undefeated regular season champs!! Woohoo! They had a tough loss in the tournament on a 90 degree day in the direct sun and ended up taking home silver with a second place tournament finish. Still very impressive!

Her footwork was really impressive this season. She can get the ball turned around, make good passes, and she really perfected the POWER KICK! What she brings most though is hustle! She goes after that ball, plays aggressively, and shows that competitive spirit!

She also laughs and giggles and does cartwheels on the sidelines! The perfect combination!

Samantha is a (the?) top scorer so doesn’t ever get to play goalie but she did get to in one game. I think she liked it for a second but then wanted to get back in on that action!

Of course soccer is more fun to play with your friends!

I just love to watch her play. She puts her whole heart into it and I could just burst with pride.

Canoe Trip

May 19, 2022

Last weekend Maxwell and Robert headed out for a 2 night canoe trip with Boy Scouts.

Even though they had platform tents with cots to sleep in, Maxwell was excited to try out his new hammock!

I think he learned a lesson about not picking trees that are too close together! ha! Saturday morning he got to earn a cooking credit by whipping up some pancakes and bacon for the other scouts. Robert said he was a great chef!

After breakfast, they headed out on the canoe adventure – all 17 miles and 5 hours of it! Whoa! I think it was pretty challenging but they all made it!

Angels

May 18, 2022

Spencer had a good spring season with the Angels!

He pitched a decent amount and also got to play catcher which is really enjoyed! He’s pretty good at catcher and likes being in on the action for every ball.

Like Maxwell, Spencer is a good and versatile player that can really play any position needed. I love to watch him no matter where he is!

Of course, Samantha gets the award for the very best ballpark sister ever!

The Angels ended the season right in the middle with 4-6 record. They sure had fun though!

Spartan Gray

May 17, 2022

Both boys had a fun spring baseball season even if it wasn’t their most winning season! Maxwell played on the 5th/6th grade combination rec league team. They had an independent coach lined up but, surprise, that fell through before practices even started. Robert and another dad, Charles, were asked to help “just at first with administration”…but obviously ended up being the full time coaches. The team was a bit like the Bad News Bears but Maxwell had some fantastic plays, pitched great, and had really good at-bats. I was very proud of him for persevering and playing his hardest! He’s a good ball player and he should stick with it!
