This has been the week of Ben. Math Olympics on Wednesday, a field strip to the Cotton Exchange of Friday, and the North District Recreational Soccer Tournament in Corinth this weekend.
Inside the Cotton Exchange, where cotton was bought and sold in Memphis until computers.
Saturday it rained hard in the morning. They pushed our games back to the afternoon. It was drizzly but manageable.
The fields were so wet that the ball would just die when they kicked it.
Team cheer after their second win yesterday.
Ben's shorts don't match because they were so wet after the first game that I dried his jersey under the hand dryer in the bathroom between games and let him change shorts and socks. The socks only stayed dry a minute, though, before he had to squish them back into his cold, wet shoes and shin guards.
Today only John and Ben went. They said it was cold. They won the first game, but lost their final game to a Columbus team 0-5. They got medals for second place.
