Max's Soccer Tournament

The whole family went to Portland last weekend for Max's soccer tournament.  The kids and I drove up on Saturday morning and watched Max play and win his first game.  Then we went to the Portland Airport and picked up Pancho who is working in California for 2 weeks.  He flew into Portland for the weekend.  We made it back to S.E. Portland in time for Max's second game, which his team  also won!

Max is a very aggressive defensive player.

We finally dropped the $$$ for some sports goggle glasses for Max.  I think they look so funny on him, but he LOVES them!  He has been wearing them even  when he isn't playing sports lately.

The younger siblings had a lot of fun together.

Sam brought his Star Wars figures (which were a big hit), they also spent lots of time playing at a park which just happened to be right next to the field!

Lucy hanging out in the beautiful sunshine, we had great weather!

The "Soccer Moms" :)

My favorite part of all of these sporting events is gabbing witth these fun ladies!

It seemed weird to me. . . but, because we won our first two games, we didn't have ANY games on Saturday.  Since we had a whole day free, the Dad's took some of the boys to Multonomah Falls.  They all hiked to the top of the falls.

They even played in the stream at the top.

While the boys were at the falls, the girls went shopping!

I was so happy that  my cousin Kelly came and met us at Washington Square. 

It was fun to get to spend a little time with her!

Having fun in the hotel room was part of the "fun" of the weekend!

The kids had a blast swimming in the hotel pool, staying up late watching movies, and running from room to room through the hotel (most of Max's team stayed together at the our hotel).

The best part for the adults, was that the kids are old enough to put them all together in the Hakala's and Fulton's connecting hotel rooms with a movie, and head on down to the restaurant in the lobby where we all had a few drinks and talked all evening!  It was really fun!

The whole team and their families went to dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory.

Luckily, they gave us our own room, because we were quite loud.

There was a man making balloon flowers, animals and swords for the kids.

We enjoyed sitting at the "parents table", where Pancho kept us all entertained.

All in all it was a fun weekend with a great group of families.

Max's team ended up playing 2 games on Sunday and they lost the first one and tied the second one which had them ending up tied for third place in their division.  They all seemed pretty happy with the outcome and we were all very proud watching them play so hard.
