Michigan Trip

We spent a weekend visiting the Ross Family in Michigan.  The first night we ordered pizza and hung out.  Saturday the boys swam in their pool and the the 4 adults went to dinner on Saturday night in Detroit.  We then came back to the house and played yahtzee until 2am.  We had tons of fun and always love spending time with Phil, Kat and Paxton.  

Soccer USA Cup in Minnesota

What a fun week in Minnesota for USA Cup!  The boys had a memorable week and got farther than last year.  We had two games per day so it was a little crazier than last year when it was just Grayson playing.  We rented a house with 3 other families (Damon's family of 4, Maddox and Ann, Vega family of 4) and had so much fun hanging out, playing games (fun dice game that the Vega family made, poker and yahtzee) and letting the kids run around.  The house had an indoor basketball court, jacuzzi and a lot of space.  One night we went to the hotel to meet up with all the City families and the kids had fun in the pool.  Grayson's team beat a great team from Jamaica and another team from Canada to make it the semifinals, but sadly lost to a Texas team.  They were not into the game and couldn't step up their game, but we were very happy to move farther this year.  Liam played on the 2014 team and they lost in the quarter finals, but should have won.  The refs had some terrible calls that cost them the game.  The boys had fun at the Mall of America riding on all the roller coaster rides with their friends.  Overall we had a great time and made a lot of memories.  The boys had fun exchanging pins with the other teams.
