We were able to be in the stadium for several hours. The boys have a Hope House soccer team and they played against the staff. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience for all of them. Even the staff was thrilled with the opportunity. Everyone came out for the fun. The girls cheered in the stands and the little boys were able to play on the field before and after the "big game". It's thrilling watching these kids light up with a new experience that would have never had. God is so good to provide us with opportunities to bless these kids with not only Jesus, education, food, clothes but also FUN! That's exactly what we did this day had an amazing time.
I got some great pictures of Tyson and Sawyer together. Ever since we got back from our trip Sawyer has not wanted Tyson out of his sight. It is super cute and I know Tyson is enjoying it, he really missed the little man. Wherever Tyson was that's where Sawyer wanted to be. Towards the end of "the game" we had missed nap time for Sawyer and were entering the melt down zone. Sawyer got in trouble and then it was all over but the crying. He spotted Tyson on the field (still can't believe he could pick him out that far away) and reached his little arm out and in his most dramatic and sob filled voice said "I can't reach daddy I just can't do it". haha Tyson told me later that he could here him down on the field crying for him. I guess since the stadium was empty his voice carried pretty far.

Prayer before the game starts.

I must say I was impressed that my man kept up with these young boys in the heat. 31 looks good on him. :-)
Tyson scored a goal and I got the pic! yes!
There are no words for this cuteness!!

Ty and his mini me
I enjoy watching these boys with Ty. They respect and love him and I know he feels the same about them. I wish I got a pic of him with all the boys but here's a great one of him with a few.
A few more shots of the stadium and the field
After the game we had a picnic lunch in a park behind the stadium. You can see the stadium in the background of this pic.
