End of the Sports Seasons
As already discussed, Anna bowed out of basketball and finished up with soccer a couple of weeks ago.
Pierce had two season-endings last week. Pierce's last soccer game was a week ago with his celebratory party this last Wednesday night. It was held at a local pizza restaurant (one we had not been to), with the whole team in a good-size party room. Pierce and Anna both ate pizza with zest. So much so, that Nora and I ordered a second pizza for ourselves -Pierce and Anna didn't leave us any. Just as the pizza was brought to our table, Anna got sick to her stomach. All four pieces of recently-eaten pizza came right back out.
Nora quickly spirited her off to the bathroom and some very helpful Moms and restaurant staff cleaned up quickly. We were able to stay while Pierce and the rest of the team received their medals. The coach had something nice to say about every single player. Pierce was "always happy at both practices and games." Interestingly, Anna's stomach was back to its cast-iron nature pretty much before we left the restaurant.
Pierce's last basketball practice/game was last Saturday. After 45 minutes of game play, the team was presented with medals and rounds of applause. Pierce said he enjoyed this season, but was glad that it was over. I think we all feel the same way.
