Soccer

This past weekend Samantha got asked to play up with a team a year older for a tournament in Nashville. Thankfully two of her buddies got asked to play as well so that made it a no-brainer! She got home from Alpine at 1:00 and we were on the road by 4:00 for Nashville. No rest for the weary! She was tired but we made it and were ready for the 9am game Saturday!

Samantha played AWESOME and scored three goals in the two games on Saturday! Woohoo! Of course, the most fun of soccer tournaments is the shopping in between games. ha! We headed to Cool Springs mall between games 1 and 2 for lunch…at the Cheesecake Factory (!)…and some squishy shopping.

We stayed in Brentwood and all of the games were in Franklin but after game 2, we headed into Nashville for some really good shopping at Green Hills Mall and dinner at Green Hills Grille! Can’t beat that! We had another morning game on Sunday and it was quite the match up…

No, that is not an optical illusion! She was tough…

But Samantha was tough too and dribbled around her many times! I was so proud of her! The girls ended up tying one game, winning one game, and losing one game. Samantha was a bit of a sore loser after game 3. “Can I take your picture?” Samantha – “no”. Jane – “You can take my picture!” haha!
