Turkeyshoot U11 Champs!

Last weekend was the Turkeyshoot tournament! Teams sign up from all over the area and play 3 and if you win those you play a 4th game. The winner of the 4th is the champ!

Haley is #3.

The girls were not used to the large full size field, so the other teams had an advantage. For some reason, the club that we play for has these girls playing on small fields still? Well, I'm hoping that will change, cuz it took our girls a minute to figure out how to cover the field. They did it though!



The last game was a nail biter! At 1/2 time the coaches had to do a little pep talk. It was 0-0 until about 5 minutes left in the game, when our MVP, Missy, scored a goal!


When the game was over, the little sisters were so excited, the hugged Haley until she fell over. Then it was pig pile time!


The proud papa with his girl! He never got to play soccer when he was a kid, so he was living vicariously through her!

After the game we headed straight over to the awards ceremony. The coaches got this enormous trophy, and called each of the girls up to get a medal.

The back says, "2009 Turkeyshoot champs"! Haley wore it to school the next day, she was so excited!
We celebrated at Azteca after the ceremony.

Actually, Haley went with her team mates, and the rest of us went home. The girls were done (if you know what I mean)! They were whiny and grumpy, so we didn't want to ruin Haley's fun. After we got settled at home, Dao went to meet them at Azteca. I made him take my camera, and he actually took a few pics for me! Thanks, Honey!

Congratulations, Blue Angels!
