You might have noticed that just about every time Gavin appears in this blog, his soccer ball appears too. That boy definitely has an all-consuming passion! Not coming remotely close to his passion for soccer, but a passion nevertheless, is his love for Culver's cheese curds. Well, Gavin found a way to combine these passions: we went to a soccer tournament this summer and Gavin said, "If I score a goal, will you buy me cheese curds on the way home?" I told him if he scored three goals throughout the tournament, the cheese curds were his! You can see below that he did it! Hooray! We went directly to Culver's from that last game and he was a happy guy.

| They didn't place in that particular (the first of the season) tournament, but Gav's three goals made it exciting for us! |
 |
| However, two weeks later, they came in second in their division in the Plano Premier Labor Day Tournament (20 teams total, with over 600 teams in all the various divisions, including many from other states)! |

| A pre-game walk around the lake by one of the soccer field complexes where we often spend our Saturdays (see all those stadium lights in the background?) as Gavin is warming up. This was an interesting walk because every tree around the lake had been planted for someone and it was fascinating to read each memory plaque. |

| Go Sharks!!! |
We are gearing up for another tournament this weekend, which should be interesting: Gavin's first game is at 8:00 Saturday morning with temps predicted to be in the low 30's. Time to pull out my mummy sleeping bag again! I'll keep you posted!!
