In case you haven’t noticed, all the events from the last three posts all occurred in the span of 3 days. On Saturday, day 4 of this crazy busy week we had two huge events, a soccer tournament for Sophie and Sarah’s Harry Potter birthday party. I may be pretty awesome but even I can’t manufacture more time. So unfortunately, in order to get everything done on time for the party, I was not able to attend Sophie’s tournament. But the rest of the family went twice, once at the beginning and once towards the end to cheer her on.
This was an event organized by the soccer club of Aeugst, Sophie doesn’t actually belong to a team. Any kids that wanted to, signed up, and then the organizers divided them up into teams. She had participated once before two years ago and loved it. So she was excited to be able to do it again this year.
Don’t you just feel so bad for the kids having to school in this hideous setting?
The beginning of the Swiss Alps there in the background, lush green hills everywhere else. So not fair. 🙂
The girls loved cheering for their sister. And it must have worked, because she and her team played very well. 
So well, that they ended up coming in first place! She was thrilled. And since it was the club’s 10 year anniversary, all the kids received t-shirts as well as their medals. 
I would let her play soccer on a real team, but most of the games are on Sunday and that just opens a whole can of worms I don’t want to deal with, so this is a good compromise.
