spring break - day 1

we headed off to colorado springs on our 6:00am flight for a quick spring break getaway with my mom and sister's family.

we arrived prior to being able to check in, so we hung out at the resort's main building - taking in the scenery and cooler, sunny weather.

hello, pike's peak!

after checking into our casita and getting settled, we headed back to the resort's restaurant for a casual dinner.  the stunning mountain views did not disappoint.

senior night soccer game

 

i started on the display board early, but the senior night game still came way too soon!

that wind was soooooo cold!!

that video had us all blubbering and ugly crying!

then the game started - with an all senior starting lineup!

the girls easily pulled out a 6-1 win at home for their very last home game.

senior cheer cookies

 

i got an order for a dozen senior night cheer cookies, referred to me by someone that i made graduation cookies for last may.  felt pretty cool to get a referral!!

v blue hawks

 

tonight was teacher appreciation night at the game and little sister chose to recognize the teacher she has been lucky enough to have for the past 7 years for percussion class.  they came out onto the field together and stood for the national anthem.

little sister only played during the first half, and her teacher stayed there in the stand to watch.  the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

v eagles

 

finally!!  the senior banners are flying high at our stadium.

we took another loss tonight 1-4 and little sister got in some playing time.
