Lost out

Hayleys team lost their soccer game today in the semi finals. Not because they were beaten by a better team, they were beaten by the heat. Losing key games at this age is different than Kate's team at 11. When Kate's team loses, they step off the field disappointed and for a few minutes reflect on what they could have done better. Hayley at 15 won't talk, and it might take a few hours to have a conversation that doesn't contain a grunt. These girls have finally gotten over the loss the giggles have returned. In the end its only soccer and the one thing that they will take away is the friendships and experience. How many people get to go to Minneapolis for summer vacation? Mall of America here we come.
