last soccer game til spring

Dan's soccer team played their last game of the fall session this past Saturday. They'll pick up again in March, after a winter holiday break. This time, only three boys from Dan's team showed up to play, so all three boys played the entire game (4 quarters 5 minutes each). Gary says they played hard, too. Dan was so tired that he

crashed for a 3+ hour nap at 5:30, then woke up for a few hours and was back in bed by 10. He's okay with taking a break, but he did wear his soccer uniform from Sat's game until this morning when I talked him into regular clothes.

It looks like that was a pretty intense game!
