Chad calls our soccer weekends away 'soccercations' as they seem to be our only family vacations lately. This past weekend was spent in Seattle for Cade's Northwest Champions League Games. His Boca Jr. team played three games against three of the top Washington teams. They lost two tight games 0-2 and 1-3 (vs. Gig Harbor and Washington Premier) and won one game 2-1 (vs. Crossfire B). Cade played well and was a lot of fun to watch. It was actually a pretty relaxing weekend as we only had one of our kids playing so we didn't have to rush from field to field. We did take two of Cade's teammates (Edgar and Josiah) with us so the hotel was pretty packed but luckily we had a suite so Chad, Genevieve and I got our own room. Cade loved having his teammates along with us and said it was one of the best weekends ever. Gabrielle stayed home so she could celebrate her BFF Jorja's birthday and so she would not miss supporting her Athletica team in their game (in Portland) this weekend.
Amazingly, the drive to and from Seattle went really well. Nev slept three-plus hours of each of the drives and the boys stayed quiet watching movies and chatting
Gotta love the DQ stop (and Krispy Creme, Subway, Wendy's, etc). We let the boys pick the food stops and it was definitely not the healthiest of weekends!
The boys watched TV in the room as well as played a ton of football. They had a great time together. Willem especially loved hanging with the big boys and the big boys were very good about including him in everything.
It was a pretty wet weekend but luckily it only rained about half of one game for us. Genevieve is all dressed here but she constantly was taking her shoes and jackets of during the games!
Genevieve had fun running around during the games and playing with the dog. It was so nice having Chad there too so we could share the 'Genevieve-following' during the games. Willem was great, playing tons of soccer on the sidelines, during and before games.
Cade playing his heart out. He played forward all weekend and got lots of playing time.
Cade getting some leverage!

I got a text from Brandy of this picture of Kyndsi and Elle in Portland. Such a good friend helping Elle out as she deals with her crutches going on Week 2 of her injury.

great pics again, Teesh. Love the one of Nev in her rain gear and Cade airborne. Miss you all.
Nice work with the update Teesh! I love how Will is in all the pictures being included with Cade and his friends :) So cute of Nev all dressed up too. Looks like a great weekend!
I love that you guys took a "soocercation!" We have one preschool soccer boy and I feel like we haven't been able to do anything since the season started.. I have no idea how you guys keep track?! It all looks like so much fun though.. LOVE reading your blog! Thanks so much for the sweet comments on one of my posts. You totally inspire me.. I just don't know how I would survive 3 ;-)
