Another Soccer Weekend

This is weekend we went to Des Moines for another 3v3 soccer tournament with the team Lee coaches. I was a little flustered trying to take Lulu on her first overnight trip. She was a trouper. She was nice all day at the fields. She was nice even though she was pretty tired. She even slept well in the hotel-provided crib.


Des Moines, if you were unaware, is Iowa's capital and largest city. Even so, we had to drive on a gravel road to get to the soccer complex. If you look closely you can see that surrounding the complex on one side is a corn field.
And surrounding the complex on the other side is a soy bean field.
Lulu got pretty tired by the 4th game and crashed. Doesn't it look like she is doing the "sprinkler?"
The highlight of our trip was seeing Maggie McBlogger. We got some dinner, walked around the mall, and then went back for some "dessert." If you notice, Lee is drinking his dessert and trying to finish my chocolate cake. I have never been a big chocolate cake fan, but starting from about week 34 of my pregnancy I can't get enough of it.

Maggie put the girl to sleep when she was starting to get a little crabby and she stayed asleep until we got in the car to go back to the hotel. Thanks for the fun Maggie!

It was the highlight of my weekend too. Thanks for the visit. By the way all of you readers, Lulu is as good as Karoline always says. It's freakish really!

Why did I do a quick scroll down to see if there was a picture of Lulu first?
