Day #2 - Soccer Training Starts


Dear Diary,
We are getting into this Florida lifestyle but the 7 am wakeup and walk is not for me ....

Just kidding.  Here is a synospsis of today's events...
- Up at 7am and out for a 7:30am walk
- Beakfast at 8am.  The girl's ate healthy - however, Brad, that's another story (mmmm ... biscuits and gravy and bacon)
- After breakfast was homework and personal time to 11am
- We headed to Ed Radice sports fields for some soccer training at noon.  We arrived at the fields with no one else there (Nigel is a keener).  We did out typical warmup and some individual ball skills and worked into passing/possession and then a scrimmage.  It was warm and humid BUT the girls did well.
- After training we had a picnic at the fields (Subway, milk, veggies, and fruit)
- Back at the hotel by 3pm for some free time, swimming and more homework for those that required the time.
- The girls were given some additional time at the mall tonight for dinner & shopping --> this is not helping us having all of the restaurants at the mall complex!! :-)  Note to Bud ... send Kristen more money!
- In the evening we fit in some visits from some parents and calls to parents were done (sorry if we have to limit some of the girls time on the phone right too many girls and not enough time)
- Coach Kristen has landed and will be present at tomorrow's training ... the girls are in trouble now!

Note to diary ...
Those 12 passenger vans are long!!  That Lexus in the hotel parking lot did not know what hit it.
Note to self ...
Investiagte ICBC Insurance for USA travel, and accidents with rental van.  Sigh :-(
