I found this story to be rather funny. We went to Carmel for Steph's soccer game last Sunday. And while we were waiting to get started, Steph's coach was reminded of a funny story about soccer in Carmel. By the way, Carmel is about an hour drive from Rhinebeck.
A few year back, coach went to Carmel with his son for a soccer game. Another family, we will call them the Jones family (Chrisie knows this family well), they had a son on the team too. So the Jones family, who owns a farm, drove their pick up truck to the game. The game started when all of a sudden, the fans were looking at something running around near the field. It was a CHICKEN! There was a chicken running around the soccer field. So the Jones' look over and they say, hey, that's OUR CHICKEN!! Turns out that the chicken used to like to lay eggs in the back of their pick up truck. It must have been in the back of the truck when they left and it took the ride all the way to Carmel, then got out to see what was going on. They chased down the chicken, put it in the cab of the truck until the game was over.
Steph's team played very well on Sunday (best game yet.. no still didn't win). Steph's foot is finally strong enough and she is back to her old self. She scored a goal.
Here are the crazy girls:
Here is the goal:
Christopher's soccer team did not win either, but it was a close one!
But Chris (and Jeff's) baseball team did win the first round of the playoff games! And it was exciting. Tie game in the bottom of the last inning. Two outs. Spencer hits a triple to score the runner on 3rd to win the game. the bench clears and piles on Spencer at 3rd base. A lot of happy campers. Steph and I missed it, we were at gymnastics. she is really enjoying this new gym. The family that owns it is very, very nice and VERY knowledgable in coaching gymnatics.
Been spending lots and lots of time making CDs of photos for my customers... I've been offering CDs of all the photos from specific events.. getting a lot of interest!
Dance recital is on Saturday. Will not get lots of photos, will be spending lots of time as part of the "pit crew" who has to change Steph into her next outfit in record time :-)
Hope all is well with everyone. Any guest bloggers out there? Tommy? Vincent? Dilynn? Danny? Derek??
Have a great Thurs!
