final FH game

Sebastian and his friends played their final Forest Heights soccer game of the season on Saturday. It's probably the last game they'll ever play as a grade-level rec team, as next year they'll be divided into birth year (some 2007, some 2008) and will all play in a more competitive soccer league through Lincoln Youth soccer. It's been a good group of boys - mostly playing together since kindergarten - and so we're sad about the end. But it makes sense for them to move up - they've been crushing the other teams all season, and it's not fun or fair to keep going. They'll be more challenged and hopefully find more equal opponents in the competitive league.

We celebrated with cupcakes under the covered area, and just in time, because within five minutes, it started to hail. And then it kept hailing - good-sized balls of ice - for 15 minutes. The sound of it rattling on the metal roof was intensely loud and we all began to wonder just how long we'd be trapped there. But then it stopped and we walked home, feeling sad for the trees and flowers. What a spring!
