Soccer

The Women's National Soccer team was in town last week for a Friendly game against Canada.  Four of the team's players did a mini camp for the kids.  Johnny and Maddie participated.  They also got to be part of the Q&A and get autographs!  They were lucky enough to get in the line and have Hope Solo and Heather Mitts. The next night there was an open practice and Sean took them to see how they practice.  Saturday night was the big game.  Ended in a tie.  The players were great!  Afterward some of them walked around signing autographs.  Somehow Maddie got to the front and got Hope Solo's autograph, again! As well as Lauren Cheney.  So much Fun!
