Soccer Tourney & UNC!

This weekend Preston had a soccer tournament in the Greensboro/Burlington area.  It was quite the mess with several day/time/field changes (due to crazy rain and bad weather) and we ended up missing a game morning update and our team showed up at the wrong field!  By game time coach asked why our field had players on it and it was then we found out we were at the wrong soccer COMPLEX!  The game we were playing was 20 minutes away.  OOPS! Thankfully they waited for our team to arrive to start the game and the boys pulled out a win!  We then raced to UNC to pick up Savannah so she could watch the second game and enjoy dinner out too.

I headed back to Charlotte and the boys drove Savannah back to school and stayed overnight in the hotel for the Sunday game.  It was quite the crazy weekend but oh so good to have all my people in one place!
 

Long Weekends Rock

 

Savannah does not have Friday classes this semester and since Monday was another wonderful mental health day at UNC, classes were canceled . . . so she came home Thursday and didn't have to go back until Monday afternoon. :)  We ran a zillion errands and enjoyed a lot of downtime at home, nothing fancy, but it was just fabulous to all be together.  One of the exciting things she wanted to do was try out this new store Reclectic.  The grand opening was on Friday at noon.  We showed up at around 11:45 to find no less than 1000 people in line waiting to get in!!!  It was INSANE!!!  She smartly said "no way, I'm hungry" so we headed home instead of waiting in the insane line that probably would have taken 2+ hours to just get into the store!  But on Sunday once it had calmed down (and had been completely picked over) we walked right in.  It was a bit of a bust, but probably because everyone had already bought the good stuff. LOL  We will definitely have to try it again soon.  Never the less, we all had a super fun low-key weekend.

Eagles are Back on the Field

 

Preston's club soccer team started their season with a local tournament this weekend.  It's a relatively new team (with a new coach) and attendance at practice has been rough for most of the team since we had to practice so far away . . but they played hard and really worked well together!  They did win one of their games so hopefully they can work on finishing at practice to get more points on the board!
