Matt joined a competitive soccer team this spring. He played recreation soccer for several years, but didn't play last fall and missed it. His friend, Cody, asked him to join his comp soccer team this spring. We get to go to further away places with this league other than just around South Jordan, Herriman, and Riverton.
Last night he had a game in Tooele. We took the whole family on a Friday night family night. The game was at 7:oo so the second half was under the lights. We were bracing ourselves for the cold, but the weather was quite pleasant.
The game in Tooele ended in a blow out with Matt's team (USA) clobbering Tooele 6-1. In the shot above you can see Nicky running up the hill behind Matt; and Jen and Taylor watching the action off to the left.
Today the game was in Park City. They have artificial turf on the field so it was cool like playing at Rice-Eccles Stadium. However, it makes the ball roll very fast - (good thing Matt is fast like a Gazelle - NL).
The weather was a bit chilly in Park City - mostly beacuse of the wind. Jen and Taylor watched from the car (the parking lot has a great view of the field). Matt's team beat Park City 2-0. After the game we went to Granny's in Heber only to find that they don't open until May 8th! So we did the only thing we could do - went and bought a BB gun and forced granny to open the store and make us some shakes and burgers (and ride the rides, too). Just kidding - we went to plan B - the Dairy Keen in Heber with the cool train in the ceiling. They have pretty good shakes there, too.

Wow, I can't believe how tall Matt is getting! He looks like a long, lean, soccer machine! :)
