Chicago Trip Day 1

Here we are in rainy Chicago, with all the rain you want, for free!!! We left yesterday, at about 2:30. Of course my mom told the teachers that we were going to be picked up at 1 o'clock so yours truly didn't get to go out for recess. The drive up was fairly uneventful. We had left Juju at my grandparents house so you could definitely call the drive peaceful! We got in about 6 and met Karen at her new apartment. After unloading the whole van we walked to a crepe place. For dinner Dever and I had a Ham and Cheese crepe! Dessert though was the real hit. We ordered a crepe covered in chocolate with ice cream inside. Papa was afraid to eat any because, "I'm afraid I'll get bloodied in the process!" Needless to say Dever completely pigged out and hogged the whole thing. You were lucky if you managed to get a bite. Returning home Dever and I crashed on the the air mattress set up in the living room. There was a terrific thunder storm during the night, and tons of thunder could be heard. This morning mom and Karen went to breakfast together while Papa slept in and Dever and I amused our selves. Wish us luck on sightseeing today!!!

Komets Playoffs

The playoffs weren't going to well for our Fort Wayne Komets. They were down 3-1, but then on the second to last game they won with an astounding 7-4. That wasn't all however, on the very last game of the regular playoffs they won 4-3. They almost had to go into overtime, but with 2.1 seconds remaining in the regulation playing time they SCORED!!!! Go Komets! Of course that meant that they had to have a game seven. It was to be held in Fort Wayne, which was very lucky because then we had the home ice advantage. I was able to listen to some of it on the radio, and I heard the first goal being scored. Then, later that night, I heard the 3rd goal being scored, 7 seconds into a power play. The Komets completely dominated the game. Every single goal went to the Komets, and they won 4-0. Goodbye Port Heron Icehawks! We're going to the Finals, so wish us luck. Go Fort Wayne Komets!!!!

Soccer Season #2

Well yesterday was a great day for my soccer team, The Strikers. At 4:30 pm we drove out to Kreager Park were we played. The team we played this week was Manchester Northside. They are known as our most hated enemies, because they always put up a good fight. Well this time we gave then something to fight about. At the end of the first half we were beating them 6-0. Things weren't much different, we scored 2 more goals, and they scored only 1. The final score was 8-1. We are still undefeated, and next week we'll face Inferno Jr. If we beat them we will have beaten every team in the league. Wish us luck. Go Strikes, you ROCK!!!
