Cincinnati soccer weekend

Ivy and I are back from Cincinnati, Ohio, with a stay at my sister's in Dayton. We drove there Friday afternoon and stayed in a hotel the first night, since we had activities until late and an early start the next day. Ivy had lots of fun running around with all of her teammates in the hotel. They swam, they went to the exercise room, they played games.

Ivy is a wiggler! I finally had to put pillows down the middle of the bed so she wouldn't flop onto me.

They lost both games on Saturday against very strong teams: 1-4 and 0-6. Ouch! Ivy scored the only goal that day.

We drove to my sister's house mid-afternoon and enjoyed some down time, making homemade pizza, and going to a Hispanic festival on the downtown riverfront park. Today's game we won 6-0. Ivy didn't score, but she had some nice shots on goal.

Meanwhile on Saturday Inga and Dio both had school games. Inga's team won 2-0, with her scoring both goals. Dio's team lost 0-2.

Inga and her friend made a homemade apple pie, all by themselves (I mixed up the pie crust beforehand, but they did all the rest using a cook book.)

We got back just in time for Ivy to join a group of friends at the university swimming pool. Eric and I did some yard work before he left for Ultimate Frisbee.

I put up solar lights on our fence panels.

Zari took some pictures of downtown Toronto from this weekend.

Our Freeze Family group chat has been hilarious recently. The kids are mocking Eric. "Aller petit nain du jardin. Va faire du jardinage," they told him (an ongoing inside joke).
