This is Mt. Baker in the northern part of the Washington State portion of the Cascades mountain range. (fairly close to the Canadian border) This view was from the soccer fields where Jzo's team played in a tournament last weekend, called the "Baker Blast". Jzo and I could also see this mountain from our hotel room, which was about 9 miles to the west of the fields.
This is Jzo's new Crossfire team. He played with the same club last year, but got bumped up to a higher level team this season. We are really happy with this new team so far. This was their first tournament, they've been practicing 2-3 times a week since the start of April. Jzo is front row, second from the right. All these boys are between 12 and 13.
Here's Jzo in action!
This is me, and my friend Mary who's son Nick is also on this team. We are so lucky, as this year we can carpool to all the practices since their family lives in the same neighborhood as we do! SCORE One for Carpool!
Friday night, after their first game (which they WON), we got to go to the west of our hotel, and one of the team families has friends with a house on the sound... it was amazing to be there during sunset (which isn't until about 9:45) and have a bon fire on the beach. 
The kids had a blast (no pun intended) making s'mores and playing with the fire. You can see a few siblings came along too, but this weekend was just Jordan and me, the rest of the family couldn't come this time. 300 miles later, we were back on Sunday, early enough to catch the championship match of the Euro Cup - Spain beat Germany, 1-0.

Way to go, Jordan! He looks like an excellent soccer player. I'm glad you got to be there for him. That mountain is beautiful. As far as carpooling goes, I have to agree that is sure is nice when you can work out something on a regular basis to cut down on having to do all the driving yourself. We alternated driving to early morning seminary this year with a neighbor, one week at a time. It was very helpful.
