Hero's Cup for Kade

Kade's soccer team played in the Hero's Cup. It is based in Mesquite, but his age group played at Shivwits Soccer Complex and Crimson Cliffs High School. I was happy it wasn't in Mesquite and happy we could stay in St. George. He had quite the desk setup so he could do homework in the way there. We left Thursday at lunchtime. We got checked into the hotel around 3:30 and had downtime for a nap. We grabbed dinner and went to his game at Shivwits. It was windy and cold there. His team played so well, but we lost 0-1. It was a premier team, so it was cool that his team could at least hang with them. 

Friday morning I went on the best run. I wasn't sure where I was going to go, so I just kind of went where the wind took me. I like running out 3 miles, and it took me to the steps. I ran up and down, then back to the hotel, for 6 miles round trip. It felt so good, but my quads were so tired! They were tired and sore for a few days too, so that was crazy. I haven't been that sore in a long time. 

Then Kade and I went to the temple. 

His next game was at Crimson Cliffs. His team didn't play well, and it was kind of sad that we couldn't connect passes and play a team game. It was more like individuals dribbling down the field. 

There was a team pizza party that night. I wish I had taken a picture. It was a fun party. The parents were at one table. The players were at other tables, and the coaches were at another table. I was happy Sharon Gamble went with Drew because she is fun to talk to. We had fun chatting with the other parents. 

We had to get up early Saturday morning. I ran around St. George, then we checked out and went to his last game at Shivwits. His team played really well, but we just couldn't score enough to win. 

Kade's team hung with the top teams. It is fun to see their progress after only playing together since June. 

Kade and I went to Fiesta Fun and enjoyed bowling, mini golf, and arcade games. It was fun having one-on-one time with Kade this weekend. 

We stopped at In-N-Out on our way home, and Kade took advantage of his desk/table setup.
