Fun Times with Forza at DPL - Phoenix
We flew back from Mexico and got home around 10pm on Thursday night. Friday morning Calvin and I headed back to the airport at 9:30am to fly to his soccer tournament in Phoenix. A pretty quick turn-around but at least we got to sleep in our own beds for one night!
Calvin's team was invited to play in the Desert Premier League (DPL) with the top teams from New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. There are only 9 teams that were invited to play in this league so it's quite a compliment for them. They meet three times during the year to play 3 games and that makes up their season for that league. They played in August in Park City, Utah; November in Las Vegas, Nevada and this last weekend in Phoenix, Arizona.
Calvin got a lot of playing time in the tournament, playing almost the entire game every day. He played really well and loved playing with his team. They didn't have the best tournament. They lost the first game 0-1, won the second 1-0 and lost the third 0-1. But all of the teams are very good and pretty evenly matched in this league so his team will likely end up taking 2nd place, meaning they will move on to the Far Wet Regionals in Boise, Idaho in June.
He had the time of his life spending the weekend in a hotel with all of his teammates, playing soccer, swimming in the pool, playing "kendama", eating out and goofing off together. One of his teammates and sister stayed with us in our room so he got tons of friend time!
Even though we didn't really have any one-on-one time together, it was still really fun to hang out all weekend with my Calvin. He really is such a great kid! I love him so much!

We really missed the boys that didn't come!
Trying to be taller than Mom! Not quite yet buddy! I've still got you by an inch, maybe two!
