Last week, Wednesday night at about 6 PM, my husband decided to host a football tournament for all our neighborhood friends. On Thursday at 12 PM, we had 8 teams and an afternoon of football. How he manages to pull these things off, I still can't understand...but I love him for it.
He set up three small fields on our compound, painted lines, secured goal posts, found three referees (hailing from Kenya and South Korea), and set up the playing schedule.
Each team had to have at least 1 girl and have less than a 45 year cumulative age. That opened it up for everyone to play.
There was lots of cheering...
lots of goofing off...
Shoes were optional...
But mud wasn't...
The final games were exciting as the last two teams had one set of brothers against another set of brothers...
And the sports commentating was a bit hilarious...
Rubber boots and rain coats were a blessing through the afternoon showers...
Finally the results came in...Adrian, Emma, Jimmy and Rebecca...after two overtimes and two sets of shoot outs... won...
The winning team received notebooks and pens for school...
And everyone (about 50 people in all!) finished the day with ice cream.
Fun times!
