The pictures above were taken last June. Derek's very special friend Alyssa has been Derek's helper. This year because of her extensive soccer career, she wasn't able to be with us. We missed her a ton!!! Go Alyssa!!!
For years,Derek has been involved in the Top Soccer Program (usyouthsoccer.org) which is a national organization that supports children with "all abilities".
Derek used to be the youngest participant.. now he is by far the oldest and biggest.
Friday night was the end of the season party.
The coach asked if we could host the party again. We were very happy to use the barn and enjoy the kids, their parents and a ton of pizza and soda pop.
I didn't have my camera during the eating part... but the trick or treat time I ran in and got it.
The coach told the kids that while we were eating the pizza a witch flying an airplane over our home threw out a ton of candy. The lawn was covered with candy.
The children loved running around finding their treats.
(I'm sure the next time our yard gets mowed we will find some jolly ranchers and bubble gum hidden in the grass)
Here are a few photos of the candy find and some of the soccer players (most were in costume) that found the trampoline. (I encouraged Derek to pass on the trampoline, with him jumping the children would have gone flying)
