We had a weekend full of sun, sand, and SOCCER!
Both Aidan and Maura participated in the Beach Blast soccer tournament in Wildwood, NJ this weekend. We stayed at a hotel with all the other families from Maura's team. The hotel was like all the other hotels in Wildwood {which isn't spectacular...you could call it "vintage Jersey Shore living"}...but...it was just a few steps from the Boardwalk which is as good as it gets! And it was great for the kids to be able to hang out with each other all day long...jumping around from the pool to each other's rooms.
They have nearly 150 soccer fields set up on the beach and the games go on all day. It's a really huge event. You can't really tell from the picture below because the beach is basically empty, but during game time it was a sea of people and soccer.
The tournament package included 3 days wristbands for the kids to do the amusement rides on the Piers. After checking in Friday afternoon and taking quick walk on the beach we spent the rest of the evening on the Boardwalk.
Saturday morning....
the games began!
Friday evening we increased one of Audra's seizure meds per the doctor's schedule.
It resulted in Audra spening nearly all of Saturday like this...
I would wheel her all around and prop her up with pillows,
and she would stay asleep!
A huge ice cream cone with sprinkles after your first morning game of the day is perfectly acceptable at Beach Blast
A few games in and still sleeping...
Luckily Maura's games were always on the fields closest to the boardwalk so I could find a shady spot to park Audra and still be able to watch Maura play.
Maura's team made it to the Championship,
so I managed to get Audra's chair down on the beach so I could watch from the sidelines.
Maura's sweet team won 1st place !!
Aidan's team also made it to the Championship but they lost after a tough game that was close.
You can never have enough ice cream when it's a hot day at the beach :)
