End of Tournament Season

This weekend was the last tournament weekend of the preseason for both girls.  Unfortunately, Taylor was playing in Orange County and Allison was in La Jolla.  I sent Taylor with friends on Saturday and drove with Leslie down to La Jolla for Allison's games.  They played at a middle school with an awesome ocean view and we had several hours between games to enjoy a picnic on the beach!
We set up our blankets on this cool rock structure
 and ate lunch, watched groups spear fish and play in the tide pools.

 It's on days like this that I realize we live in one amazing place!!
The girls played tough all weekend, but lost all 3 of their games 1-0 against Albion, Hotspurs and Oceanside. They were in the top bracket and battled hard in each game.  I missed the Sunday game because I went with Taylor, but got word that Allison did a great job in goal!
Taylor's team didn't have much luck either.  They played in the top bracket too and lost 4-0 to OC Premier Black and tied 0-0 against Long Beach Havoc.  Sunday's game was a close matchup, but they came away with a 1-0 win over Irvine Strikers.
The tournament season is over and they have the next few weekends off before league begins September 7th...
