Wow. I haven't posted for forever. I'm so sorry! Life is just busy. Well, we had a game on Monday and Wednesday like normal. On Monday, we went against the Olympic Laundry team, which is the blue team. We won, but I'm not sure exactly the score. I just know that we pretty much crushed them. Then on Wednesday, we faced the yellow team, which is sponsered by Webeley Soccer Shop. They were the team to beat. And yes, we did beat them. They were undefeated, and so far, our team is the only one who has beat them. The score was 2-1. It was a fabulous game! YEAH! WE WON!
Two Soccer Games

And Update! (Except this time, soccer goes first.)
Yesterday was another game for my team, Olympic Insurance. But this time, we won. We have played Little Creek Casino two times now. Alex Deacon is (probably) the star player on the team. But this game, he or his brother weren't there. (That might have made it a little easier for our team.) Again Kyle was on fire. So was Cisco. I'm pretty sure he scored all of our goals. Let me repeat...WE WON! The score was 4-1. But I had to play midfield when all I ever do is be a defender. One of my teammates got hit in the face, and I had to go in for her.
Summer Hummer is ending tomorrow. I did my normal stuff: hula-hooping, hula-hooping, and did I mention hula-hooping? Today I tied a lot of bracelets. I surprised myself. Well, I have to go now. I'll post again after tomorrow. :)

A Summer Hummer and Soccer Update
Since most of you don't know what Summer Hummer is, I will tell you. It's a VBS (Vacation Bible School) at Westwood Baptist Church in Olympia. They have awesome activities such as water slides, zip lines, rock climbing wall, laser tag, dodgeball, and so much more! They have 855 camper and about 370 staffers, of which I am one. I am doing 1st-6th grade morning games and bead room. Priscilla (one of my friends) is also doing morning games, and we doing hula-hoop together. Then in the afternoons I work in the bead room where I (mostly) tie knots, put nail polish on the knots, and cut off the excess string. It is quite boring, but it is fun.
Yesterday, we had a soccer game against Webley Soccer Shop. It is the undefeated team. They were the very first team we went against and lost to 5-0. But we have gotten better. This time we lost 3-2. The star of the show had to be my brother. He was everywhere. Although he is a defender, he blocked almost every ball. It was like he was on steriods! (Of course, he isn't.) I'll post later in the week about soccer and Summer Hummer. Ta ta!

The Second Game
Last night, we had another soccer game. But this time we won! YEAH! We went against the Little Creek Casino team a.k.a. Alex Deacon's team. It was awesome! Cisco scored like 4 goals and Avon scored one. It was great. And this time, Reann knew where to play. We did good. Guess what the score was? 5 - 3! Our team won by 2 points! Hurrah! Well, I have to get ready for soccer pics. I'll keep you updated on the games! TTFN

Soccer
So, yesterday was my first soccer game of the summer season. I played left defender almost the whole game. (The first time we substituted, I was put it and never got out.) In the first half, the forward on my side was a guy named Ryan that intimidated me. He was like twice my size! But I did get the ball away from him a few times. Another time, this other guy almost scored, but I prevented it. I felt like the hero! Until they actually scored. (Don't worry; that was a few minutes after my interference.) The second half was bad as well. A guy named Francisco (or Cisco) joined our team during half time. He's a really good player. But a new girl also joined. I think it was her first year of doing soccer. She was the defender on the other side. (BTW, we had three defenders. My brother, the sports star, was in the center.) But instead of staying on your own side like defenders are supposed to, she was playing forward! When there was a throw-in by our goal and she was closer to me, I asked her if she was the defender. She said yes and I politely told her that she was supposed to be by Kyle. And surprisingly she went there. Anyway, the gist of this whole post is that we lost the game 5 - 0.

P.P.P.S. on "Life"
Yes, I know that this subject is boring, but I just can't think of anything else to write about. (Well, today is my first soccer game of the season, so I'll tell you how that goes.) Anyway, there were some big cheeses on the platform. As they named these people, "Bill Gates" was heard! I was like, "OMG! Bill Gates is here!" But then my uncle had to ruin the moment by telling my brother that that wasn't really Bill Gates; it was his father! But I thought, "No way! Bill Gates's father would look older than that!" Oh well. Oh yes. And I will be posting tomorrow about the result of the game (which I think we will lose) and Camp Rock. I know, lame. But I actually like the movie...TTYL
