This morning we went to visit the traveling Vietnam War Memorial, that is has been herein Marysville since Thursday and is leaving tomorrow. Ben's parents came up to see it too, and the kids made rubbings of some names of men that Darrell had known in the Army. Maria understood what it was about, but Sam really had no idea. Once he had made a couple of rubbings he was ready to go.
The rain stayed away all day, so Sam was able to get his soccer game in today as well. The opposing team was fairly aggressive, and our boys were a little cautious to go after the ball. If we kept score, we would have lost by about 10-5 or so. Sam scored once - he had a break away where he dribbled the ball all the way to the goal, but when he got there, a member of the other team dived on the ball and caught it with his hands. So Sam got a goal kick because of the penalty and put it in.
This afternoon Ben had a band contest and the kids played outside with Mason for a few hours. Now they are back, tired and grumpy, and arguing about everything! I hope its just a phase, but I also know it could just be a sign of them growing up.
