Well the car started in the morning. The alarm light still flashes, and the actuall flashers come on at the weirdest time, and thanks to Tony, the actual horn doesn't go off (he cut the wires last night)
Went and had breakfast in the hotel complimentary breakfast room. The team was already there. It was funny to see soo many 17 year old boys (and a 28year old coach) eating fruit loops.
So I'm driving the son and Michael and Nigel to the game. It's not as warm as yesterday; in fact even a little overcase and possible showers. I spend much of the pre game time reading my car manual book to see how I can turn the alarm off in my car. The actual remote is still not working so it has been suggested to me I might need new batteries. So after the first game of the day (in which the boys won again) I find rides for the boys so I can pop into a future shop to get new batteries. A really nice lady shows me the batteries and then take the remote into the bak to have someone change them. When I first walk out of Future shop, the remote seems to be working; but by the time I get to the car, it's not working again. Urggg. I head back to the second game. Nobody has a small enough screw driver to open up the remote. I'll have to wait. Which means when I drive, for whatever unknown reason my flashers go off for 30 seconds to a mintues then stop. Then they go off again. I try and rack my brain for a patteren but just not working.
So we're watching the second game(which is actually their fourth and last game) Our team was winning 1 to 0. And then on a offside play, the other team scores. ( not blaming the ref, because he was doing a fairly decent job) So now we're tied. The game ends and it comes to a shoot out (almost feels like a world cup) I had to walk away at this point and only looked when I heard cheering . Finally I see the Arsenal team run over and jump on Mason. We won. We beat the number one team. That should mean a gold medal - "mean" being the operative word. Turns out there is a three way tie for first. These 3 teams all lost one game. So now it goes to goals against (in world cup soccer, it's goals for) The Arsenal comes away with a silver, but can say they actually beat the gold medal winners. Now's that for weird.
So we head back to the hotel with our new passenger - Logan again. He's decided to stay the extra night with us instead of driving back with his family (which doesn't have room for him anyways.)
We head out eat; go to the hotel; the boys shower and we're back to the soccer fields. Cousin Jane has one more game and then she too is coming with us home the next day. They lose their game 1 to 0. In fact they have lost three game, but they come away with a silver as well. Hmmmm somehing wrong with this system.
While heading back to the hotel, we make a pit stop off at Terry and Marks. Mark is a genious when it comes to fixing stuff. He takes a good look, tries a couple of things; get the actual remote working again (we think) but no luck with fixing the flahers going off and on and off and on and so on.
Jane wants to buy everyone food so we stop at Wendy's and the kids grab food . (My appetite is getting lost as I worry about what to do while driving the hightway with these lights flashing periodicly.
Not sure what time the kids finally fall asleep, but I here nothing.
