Soccer Family





When Alan and I were growing up, the kids' soccer craze was still in the future. I remember knowing kids who played (including future Olympian Tiffany Milbrett, who went to my jr. high and HS....try being in PE with her), but it wasn't a big thing. Now, it is, and we seem to have at least one soccer-crazy family member. So, we spent the weekend watching him play, and used his tournament as an excuse to visit one of our favorite Washington state locations.


Andrew's team is good; they play hard, and have a great coach. They went 3-0 in the tournament in Lake Stevens. Andrew scored a couple of goals, and made a couple of assists, but he really prefers to play defense (not goalie, though he did that in one game).


Yesterday, we spent the day on Camano, and explored a new beach park. We were lucky enough to run into two of Alan's colleagues from Highline, who were staying at a waterfront home. They let us explore the private beach that stretches out along their property, and we found lots of beach treasure.
