I have gotten to take Drew to a lot of his out of town soccer tournaments in the past, so it was Brian’s turn.  This was Drew’s first out of town tournament with his new team, so he was pretty excited.  Naturally this meant a special goody bag from mom.  I can come up with any excuse in the world to go buy stuff for a goody bag! I found this soft blanket with TOCA colors for $5.  I’m still so happy about that amazingly lucky find!

When they arrrived in St. Louis, they made a trip up to the top of the Arch and had dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory with the team.

Soccer team dinners always take forever.  If you see a bunch of soccer families heading into a restaurant…run far, far away!

And as it turns out, their hotel was a 40 minute drive from the soccer fields and Drew neglected to bring a SOCCER BALL to a SOCCER TOURNAMENT.  Who does that!?  The boys played hard but it was a rough weekend.  Thank goodness for goody bags, pool and PS4 time with friends!  That’s really what it’s all about.

Even though the results didn’t turn out as they hoped, I’m certain the future is bright for these boys.  There’s a lot of talent in this group and they are fierce competitors.  Go #16!!
