Madison's soccer team, the Cookie Monsters, were so totally awesome that they made it to the playoffs. So, soccer season didn't end for us like we thought and the playoff games are held all weekend long, playing three games on Saturday, then single-elimination games on Sunday.
Her coach was dismayed that she wasn't going to be playing on Sunday (it's the CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!), but later apologized to us for being disrespectful.
Well, they won the games on Saturday, so made to the Sunday games and ended up losing the first game 0-1 near the end. I think they are disappointed that Maddy wasn't there, as she was a key defender, but they ended up taking home yet another-much larger-trophy and had a wonderful season.
However, what do you do when you're stuck at the soccer fields all day with three other kids that are not playing? In between games, I took them to the library, which was very close. It wasn't opened yet in the morning, so we went around to the back where there is a large park, creek and duck pond.
And lots of ducks.
I think that means that we are South.
A very nice man gave us three bags of bread for the kids to feed the ducks.
And other little critters who did not want to miss out on anything.
Conejo Creek Park is very fun! And a fun break in between games. Oh, and we checked out a dozen books, read some of them during game #2, then returned between games 2 and 3 for more. These kids can't get enough books.
Now onto basketball.
