Halloween in April


We FINALLY got our championship trophies for the Halloween Classic we played last October.  This whole trophy business was a mess from start to finish.  First we had to wait 6 months to get them since the tournament organizers weren't prepared and didn't have them in time....apparently they hadn't even ordered them since it took so long.  We got a message a week or so ago that we were going to finally be getting them on picture night.  We would receive our trophies and there would be a team photo taken etc. The whole club would watch us receive them since this was our first win at this age group ever.  We have been looking forward to this for a long time!  This morning when I looked at the weather forecast I wasn't even sure that we would have pictures at all let alone the trophy presentation.  It was cloudy, cold, and windy.  I mean, brutally windy.  Turns out we barely did have the presentation.  After this season's pictures were taken the kids were taken over across the field and each one was handed a box with their name on it.  The trophy was inside.  They told them to stand in front of this trailer because it was blocking the wind, and we all snapped a picture.  So here they are...the champs...looking like a rag-tag bunch of kids just trying to stay warm.
