Meeting the Thorns

The kids are part of the Little Timbers/Thorns Fan Club. Every year they have an annual event that you get to meet a couple of players. This year, they had the event around a Thorns practice. You got to get ANYTHING from the concession stand and watch the practice, which of course my soccer crazed kids. Henry and Frances were studying the drills and Henry was comparing it to his club team drills. Pretty funny. But then.......at the end....they had all the fans line up around the field and they were able to get signatures....FROM THE WHOLE TEAM!!!!!! This is a pretty big deal as there are a number of players who played in the World Cup on the team -- and we were slightly obsessed with the World Cup games. To say we were all extremely excited is an understatement.
