Jackson Soccer tournament

I took an afternoon Sunday hike all by myself because I was stir crazy in the camper and I needed a little alone time and some exercise. This was the view from top of the mountain looking at Jackson Hole.

One of the many sunsets we saw in Jackson.


A great cloud I happen to spot on our way home from Jackson. I'm sure glad it never touched the ground. It disappeared in about 45 minutes.


Carson worked so hard at these games. His goal was the same at each. Try to score and to take someone out. Although the taking out part is his way of saying I need to be more aggressive. I believe he was more aggressive but more or less the other teams were just as aggressive. View video at the end of this blog. Who was left on the top of the doggy pile?




Carson had no problem keeping up with all the players. He played his heart out and I am so proud of his hard work and love of this sport.


The team ran to us spectators and we cheered them for playing a great game. A neat tradition each team does to thank their spectators. Although they don't always do it because they may be upset from a loss.



Michaela and her wacky hair. She had a blast in Jackson but was pretty picky at what to eat. She just wants everything her way right now. Isn't that just a teenager. I love her!


Carlos was always ready for a picture opportunity. I although lacked picture taking on this trip. I did get a few choice moments though.


Carson Hard at play and this was the team they played for the Championship. They came in 2nd but to a very strong team from Jackson. Way to go Carson.


Carson right in front of the goal trying to get a header. Jon got the header and Carson got bruised up by the goalie. At least we know he was going for the ball.




Carson with his medal. They won 1st in their division and 2nd in the A and B division (16 teams played)

Carson and Jon proud of their playing but wished they had won it all. They both played great and worked hard as a team. The best team work in awhile.


The whole team proud to indulge their parents for a photo opt. Great fun and playing in Jackson. Jackson better be ready for next year.


Video of Carson working so hard. Go Carson!!!!

The video was so short at first I didn't even catch what happened. He sure popped up fast, though, after that dog pile. What a view from the mountain. Were you a little short of breath? Jackson is a pretty high place. Cute shot of Michaela and Carlos, too. Second, after such hard work, is a very honorable standing. I wish our culture believed that more. It really creates undue stress on young kids. They worked hard and did a great job. Love, Mom
