All athletes are required to dress up on game day. I like it. Bailey plays twice a week, so every Tuesday and Friday the girls wear dresses and the boys wear shirts AND ties!

Down on the Farm
The theme for the year at Britt David is "Down on the Farm"...or something like that. So, the kids were given the option to dress in something that represented 'farming' in lieu of their school uniforms. We had to borrow jeans & boots for Braden, and luckily Brooklyn's friend Oakley had given her a pair of boots before we left Washington. Braden was getting into the spirit of it all on the way to the bus.
When a Game Gets Called...
We (the kids & I...Chris was on call in Americas) spent Labor Day Weekend in Jacksonville, Fl for Brody's soccer tournament. His team was placed up a bracket and paired against one of the top seeded teams in Florida. Needless to say, 25 painful minutes later, the refs called the game.
Dejected and more than a little frustrated, there was near silence as our team walked off the field. So what do you do? If you're me...you respectfully ignore the coaches request to "rest" for the next 6 hours until the second game...and you hit the beach. Come On! It's Jacksonville!!!
Veterans Rangers
Bailey is now a Veterans Memorial Middle School Ranger. She's traded (but not for long) her Red Star red & black for Veterans blue & red. School ball is a whole different game from Club ball! She's getting initiated into the world of public school sports in Columbus, Georgia. Her team is like the Valley Girls of Columbus. We're not particularly liked - but we're 6 games in and undefeated!
One of Bailey's team mates had her arm broken during a game. Luckily for her, Chris went to that game (not me) and was able to splint her arm and get her off the field. The PA from a local hospital assigned to the game walked onto the field with some band-aides and an ace wrap! After splinting her in cardboard and getting her off the field, Chris called her parents 5 hours later to find she still hadn't been seen in the ER, so he went down to Columbus Regional, where he moonlights, and was able to get her arm set, casted, and on her way. This is the second time that Chris has had to help with a broken bone at one of our kids' games.
