Today James went on a short field trip down to Avila Beach with his friend Andre, while I spent the morning in Paso at Nate’s first All Stars Tournament. James was wiped-out by the time I came home— I never did hear how it went, but I’m told it was a beautiful morning.
Meanwhile, Nate and I headed out at 6:30AM. At the top of the grade we hit Central Valley tule fog, which makes for limited visibility and a surreal driving experience. It was so thick at the soccer complex, we struggled to see our team on the other side of the field. It was a balmy 32 degrees.
SLO United handily beat Lompoc 15-0. Our coach got a talking to from the tournament director, long before the first half ended. They were not the Lompoc we’re used to. Then 5 Cities brought more of a challenge, which you can count on. We were down 1-0 at the half and it was feeling a bit dicey. But we won the game 5-1. Whatever Coach said at halftime made a difference. Tomorrow there are three more games to determine who crushed the Grape Crush.
I had some quality time with Granddad, Devon, Alesia, and Sarah. We had sushi tonight with Uncle B. James had some party girl roll and then went back to sleep. The field trips were a nice change— hopefully we sleep well tonight.
Before his last nap James declared, “Goodnight my loves!”
Goodnight my love.
