Traverse City Tournament

We had another successful soccer tournament in Traverse City this season. The kids look forward to it all year. We spent 11+ hours out on the soccer field in one day, luckily enough we had no games that overlapped so we were able to watch them all and root on our lil' Rapids.
 
Soccer sometimes seems secondary to staying at a hotel with a waterpark.
These guys love it.
Luckily no early morning games which just meant late nights.
 
Soccer + waterpark= siblings looking like an old married couple.
 
Brooke and her pals cooling off.
We  had great weather, cool with cloud cover!
Brady's team getting a pep talk.....Chris was luckily enough to step in as coach as the head coach got ejected with a red card.
 
These boys played hard. Ended up 3rd place (we didn't mention to them there were only four teams)
So they thought they rocked it!
 
The girls were successful too.
Ended up in third place out of nine teams and beating some pretty competitive teams. Its fun to watch these girls "get it"

Funny how the girls are so much more cooperative with a team photo than the boys.
While most of our time is spent in a grassy field away from the beauty of TC, we still try and make time to get to the water and downtown, so the kids don't think the only thing cool about up north is a soccer field.
