Come Saturday morning...

I'm goin' away with my friend
We'll Saturday-spend till the end of the day
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone

  I love that song and today it fit perfectly! Anne and I had fresh-frozen waffles for breakfast and then headed out to see Logan's soccer game. They played a team that was their equal, which made for a very exciting time. When it was over they tied, 7-7!
  After the game, we came home and had lunch: grilled cheese with a side of pears and some Takis Fuego!
  The Takis are a favorite snack of Anne's students and we love them. But, Anne hasn't been able to eat them for a while because of their spiciness. Today, though, she dug right in and enjoyed the "tingle."
  Then we headed out to see James' soccer game. This was another fairly evenly matched game and by the end the kids were worn out. At this age the coaches are just teaching them the basics. There's no goalie and the kids just do their best to get the ball down the field with some semblance of team work.
  Afterward, we drove out to the north valleys and scoped out a park for Justus and Heather. They're having Logan's birthday party next week and wanted to know if there were any facilities out there for the kids.
  The bathrooms were closed, but there were two outhouses set up for the soccer attendees. I don't understand that. Why would they close them on the weekend when people are there? When are they open? During the week when every one's working? Hmmm...
  Well, the kids decided to use the park they'd used last year. I was nice and had playgrounds for the children and plenty of shade trees for the adults, which the other one did not have. Also, plento of open grass for running around and playing games on!
  Tonight's movie: Liar, Liar. One of our favorite films, with Jim Carry at his best as a lawyer who cannot lie for 24 hours. Our favorite scenes are where he gets surprised and collapses with his arms and legs flailing. Oh, and don't forget the darn pen is blue! Hahaha...
  Live, love and laugh with the ones you love,
Don and Anne
