Hero's Cup Soccer Tournament

Reganne's soccer team has continued to practice after the fall season ended.  They needed to get ready for the tournament season.  Their first tournament was going to be the Hero's Cup in Mesquite.  Reganne was really excited since the first game was scheduled for 2:30 which would mean an early check out from school.  

The schedule wasn't as firm as we thought and the games were rescheduled to 7:30 pm.  This meant driving through the gorge after dark both ways.  I hate driving through the gorge during daylight but twice in the dark makes me shudder.  Dave wasn't able to go or drive due to his later work schedule.  The other idea was getting a hotel room at a casino for the night.  All rooms were close to $200 for a smokey room.  Drive we must but leave early enough so only one way in the dark.

What do you do when your Mom leaves way to early and you have 2 hours to kill before a game?  Eat dinner at the new Cafe Rio, find the fields, and listen to music.

Dance & Sing
Makes the time go faster

Sand and Rocks
A perfect combo for a boy.

King of the fields

Warming up
and maybe having a little of fun

Running around

They worked together really hard and won by 3 goals.  They once again set the pace and were able to control the game.  Ryder & I bundled up trying to keep warm. One day I will figure out how to stay warm not matter the temperature.

Time to head home, drive carefully through the gorge, get some rest and do all over again tomorrow.
