Mud Day

Today was a beautiful day! Nice blue skies with some white puffy clouds, not too cold or hot. Tyler's soccer game was this afternoon and it takes a village to get that child motivated. The other parents are laughing because all the other kids are running full speed in the extra soggy field while my son is tiptoeing around the puddles. The second half is much better when Tyler actually uses his head on the soccer ball. Unbelievable! All of us on the sidelines were laughing because that is so unlike Tyler but hey, he did it and we were proud of him. Even the coaches were calling out to Tyler saying, "Nice header!" He even kicked the ball not once but at least 5 times so he was making some progress after a very slow start. We saw the assistant coach in the parking lot and he was predicting that Tyler will click with soccer in about 2 more games. Well, we will see about that but we will be on vacation at that time so Tyler will need another 2 weeks to get back into the soccer groove.

After that we took the kids over to grandma's place so Hector and I could go bowling. We decided to go to PV Bowl which is the oldest bowling alley in our area established in 1958. It looks like it hasn't been updated since the 80's but usually they have lanes open so that's where we end up. Well, today Hector stated that we always have problems there and you know, he's RIGHT. Every time we bowl there, our ball gets stuck or the lane doesn't reset or something that always delays our game. We decided that we should cross off this establishment off our list because it is just plain annoying. Today we ended up bowling 3 games and the last game was the worst in terms of shoddy mechanics or technical problems. For 3 frames in a row, I would bowl and my ball would not return to me....we kept having to notify the front desk and wait. Then I would bowl again and the same thing happened. Ugh. Oh, and to top it off we bowled lousy. Our first game ended with Hector score at 106 and mine was 103. The second game was better for me where I was ahead until the very last frame when Hector bowled 2 strikes so he came from behind to win that game 126 to 123. I should have known that I can't last more than 2 games but I went for the 3rd and did awful ending up with 89. Even though we had technical problems and some lousy games, it was still fun.

To end the day we had King Taco for dinner. Those sopes were excellent tonight. The kids ate everything and we are all happy and full. The weekend is over and it's time to start the weekly routine again.
