A Day of Soccer

Back in October, has the time passed that quickly? Debbie and I were invited for lunch by my nephew Aaron and his wife Dianne. Their son, Dominic was playing a soccer game later in the day and we were anxious to go see the game. It’s been so long since we have watched our own boys play. We had such a fun time at the game we are going to pester Aaron to get us a schedule next year so we can enjoy more of the games. They live about a half hour from Port Susan so it’s not very far to go.

The Halloween decorations are out already! Debbie watches Aaron filling a fountain in the front yard.

Dominic, in soccer uniform, stopped long enough for a quick picture.

Victoria, Dominic’s sister also posed for a photo.

The game was at a school field. The coach gets to lug all the balls and other equipment to the field.

Debbie hasn’t forgotten how to do a soccer game. The sun was out but it was cool.

Dominic was obviously the best player on the team (my opinion).

He plays with intensity.

Aaron is the kind of coach that every parent wishes for. He’s low-key and his primary goal is to make sure all the kids play and they have fun.

Victoria enjoys her brother's game with a friend

and a doll.

Meanwhile the game continued at a furious pace.

After the game the coach’s wife hands out snacks.

The end of a great day. Dominic’s team won in a high scoring, exciting game and he made a goal for us. Though it was not big deal for him. I couldn’t even get a smile after the shot.

Next time dogs, cats and driftwood.
