FRIDAY UPDATE

Today was an awesome day for everyone on the team. We had a practice in the morning which was in a word, hot...... During our practice a fella from Anaheim FC was at the field checking for debris and we starting chatting with him for a while.  Southern California is apparently the soccer mecca for the US. He had lots to talk about and share ( what self resprecting soccer person doesn't  right?)
and we got a few pointers about how the teams play down here in SoCal.

The rest of the day saw the girls doing some pool activities, beach, sight seeing etc.  A bunch of us went down to Huntington Beach for the afternoon and it was Amazing!  The sun was bright, a nice wind from the ocean was there to cool you off and the waves were HUGE!  I even got in the ocean and did some wave jumping with the girls.  It was great!

After the beach 8 of the families went to a local Mexican restaurant called ElTorito.  It was a great time with good food and visiting.   Then we met up with the last five families due to arrive and got ready for the next day.

Tomorrow is the first day of our tournament so cheer on the girls as we go for the gold!
