GVSU Game!

Kelsea's striker team, along with the other U12 striker team had the opportunity to attend the GVSU girl's soccer game yesterday. What a treat! They were able to meet the players before the game and walk onto the field with them for introductions and National Anthem. Then, they were able to take the field during half time, and play a quick scrimmage game. Each girl received a t-shirt, and they had a "meet and greet" with the players after the game where they could get autographs and ask the players any questions they had about their techniques, etc.

The GVSU girl's team is incredible! Their record is 15-0, and they won yesterday's match 7-1. To see a game at that level was such a treat, and it shows how much practice, determination, and dedication really pay off!

Here are some pics from yesterday...

Fall Night at the Beach

We have had some BEAUTIFUL weather in Grand Haven the last few weeks - very summer-like - and we have enjoyed it!! Don and I took the kids to the beach right at sunset Saturday night for some pictures in the dunegrass. Then we walked along the beach and headed to K2 for dinner. For an October night, you couldn't have asked for anything better...lake breeze, sand and family...

Here are some of the pics we took...
