Saturday:
Woke up early after a great night's sleep. The team lost their first game by 1 goal and the ref. Both the boys and the ref were not playing their best. The ref was so angry at the team that he wouldn't even shake their hand afterwards, but did shake the winning teams hand. The ref'ng was bad, but the boys weren't keeping their cool either.
Lunch was prepared by some of the parents and the boys ate at the field. There really wasn't alot of time to go back to the hotel and come back to the same area.
There was an incident over lunch. One of the mom's Alison lost her purse and coffee mug. While she was preparring the boys meal, she went and put her purse and mug in the back of her husbands truck and closed the door. After the boys finished eating and things started to get cleaned up, Alison couldn't find her purse. It was no longer in the back of Tony's truck. She was frantic because Tony's wallet was also in her purse. So Tony got on his cell phone and started to cancel all his cards. He only got as far as he debit card because he couldn't get a hold of the bank to cancel his credit card. In the meantime, some of the ladies helping Alison suggested she look in the back of another black truck parked next to Tony. Low and behold, there was Alison's purse and mug. Seems she was in such a hurry, she put her stuff in the wrong truck. Now it's a good thing someone thought of looking in the other truck, becauce that same truck left about 10 minutues later.
They boys won their game in the afternoon and played a much better game and with cooler heads. But the weather was hot and gorgeous and I was reminded how much I love Kelowna.
Met up with a good friend that lives in Kelowna. Terry and I used to work together at Royal Trust. We hadn't seen each other for almost 12 or 13 years. But we keep in touch on Facebook and our yearly Christmas Cards.
Went out in the evening for dinner with some of the soccer parents while some of the boys went to a movie. Had a great time. Then it was time to come home and had an incident with the car alarm. It got set off and wouldn't shut off. Eventually one of the dad's cut the horn off so it wouldn't keep beeping, but then the alarm lights kept flashing and every once in a while the blinkers go off. I was worried the battery was going to be dead in the morning and my car wouldn't start. I only had two coolers, but I got one of the boys to drive the car back to the hotel. I had four boys to choose from (well three as the son didn't have his drivers yet)Sure didn't get much sleep worrying about that.
Some would say I pulled "An Alison."
Again not too late of a night.
