The weekend consisted of three soccer games for me. I drove the youngest of the three step-grandsons to Olympia for his game on Saturday. Sunday there were two championship games at Starfire soccer complex near SEATAC. It was mostly sunny, but being outside in the low 40s˚F weather with a constant breeze was bracing. But the oldest's team won the US Youth Soccer Championship for Washington. The game was tied 2-2 at the end, so it went into a scoreless 30 minute overtime. So it was decided on penalty kicks. Here's a bit of the ballet of the last game.
A very exciting, if chilly day.
The sun continued Monday. After dropping Z off, I did my walk through the park then drove off the island to get a headlight bulb, picked Z up in the afternoon and took her to theater camp, then home to check out a kindergarten school for next fall. It's an alternative school in the regular school district, but it's small and students are chosen by lottery.
Today was sunny again, but colder. Right around freezing. There was frost on the lawn.
And ice in part of the pond.
And the puddles were more seriously iced up.
My granddaughter's life is pretty full. There was an astronomy activity at the planetarium Saturday when we got back from the soccer game. But all the activities give her opportunities to learn through playing and she enjoys them. And she helped me change the headlight bulb yesterday. And keeping up with her is cutting into my blogging. But I'm sure it's much more worthwhile.
Lovely photography of ice on pond. I appreciate how to
ReplyDelete"simply attend" to the world around you and pass it on.
whoa -- proofread much, Barbara?
ReplyDeletephotography = photograph
to = you.
thanks, Barbara. I think either photograph or photography works, but the 'you' makes more sense.
