Travelling Weekend

We only had two soccer games this weekend, one on each day. Both games were similar: Out-of-town, hard-fought losses, with lots of chances for us to win but we couldn't get it in the goal. And Andrew and Mali both played great.
Saturday we found Estacada for Mali's game, and Sunday we went all the way out to Warrenton (Hammond) just West of Astoria for Andrew's game.

After Sunday's game we found a picnic area at Fort Stevens state park and ate the delicious picnic Pablo packed, then went to the beach where the Peter Iredale shipwreck is mired in the sand. I took a nap while Susy, Pablo, and Rocio read the paper, Andrew and Matias dug a deep hole in the sand, and Mali ran just around the beach. Andrew and Mali also found themselves out in the surf up to their chests even though the water is very cold. The 80+ degree weather helped with that.

Saturday night we had grilled salmon and mahi mahi at our house with all the usual suspects, except Paul, who was out at a Men's retreat, golfing somewhere in Washington. Nancy brought a salad, Pablo brought banana bread and homemade strawberry ice cream, and Alana brought a quiche and some manicotti she just happened to have on hand.
