Yes, it does get cold in Dallas

Yes, she played with her hat, gloves and leggings all day!



For the final weekend of soccer, Ellie had a weekend tournament.  And, remember, this is TEXAS.  Three games on Saturday and potentially two games on Sunday ... 11am, 4pm and 8pm games.  That may not seem so bad .. until it was 34 degrees and windy at the 11am game, misty rain and 44 degrees at the 4pm game and continued rain and 42 degrees at the 8pm game.

These girls were tired by that last game.  They had won the first (2-1), tied the second (3-3) and you could tell coach Tony was playing for the tie in the third game.  It had been a LONG day and a tie would get us into the next round on Sunday.  So as the seconds ticked down without a goal having been scored ..... we held our breath!

A tie.  No score.

The girls were so excited to be moving on to the next round on Sunday!!  What a team effort and what a team celebration when the game ended and they knew they would be moving on!
