Little Clipper

During our time in Canada, Nick and Max signed up for a season of soccer with the Cataraqui Clippers Club. The season of soccer runs through the summer so unfortunately, the boys missed quite a few games whilst we were travelling.
Nick played in an Under 9's team and made a few new friends. Last Saturday saw him playing in a tournament consisting of three games. The Maroons won one and lost two games. Nick scored a total of four goals on the day and came home with a trophy. Naturally, this made him quite happy.
On sunday we turned out for Holy Cross to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run. Max ran with his friends whilst Nick jogged the course with me. We finished feeling quite proud of ourselves. We completed the six kilometer course in less than 40 minutes - no mean feat for a nine year old! Em and John took things a little easier and walked the course. John and I agreed that it was a good day and worth coming out to support a worthy cause!
