Fall Breaks and the Challenge tournament

Collin in Flagstaff

My Fall Break finally ended today, and school starts back up tomorrow. However, Collin's Fall Break ended a week ago, and he had some fun during his. After having unlimited rest for the first couple of days (which he really enjoyed!), Collin got to go up to the mountains in Flagstaff with dad and Beau. They stayed at a really nice hotel, and had a great time doing all kinds of things! Not only did they hike for a very long time in the nice weather, but they also walked to the Harkins that was near their hotel to go watch a movie later the day that they got there. They also ate lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings once as a treat after doing more hiking. They eventually came back two days later, while in the meantime, I was still at school!

 At last, Friday came and it was the last day of school for me before I had my break. The next day, I still had a soccer game at about noon, but the place where we were playing conveniently happened to be right next to the freeway. After the game, I got to head to California with my mom for a couple of days to visit my aunt, who lives in Costa Mesa right next to the beach! We got there at about seven and the next morning, we headed out to the beach bright and early.

The Xcelerator

 We spent the whole day there, but then went back to my aunt's apartment to wash up before we went to "Downtown Disney", which is right outside of Disneyland, to go get some late dinner. Even though we all went to bed very late after that, we had to get up early in the morning again to go to "Knots Berry Farm" as soon as it opened. We were there the whole day until it closed at six at the end of the day. There were some really fun rides there though, including the Xcelerator, which went from 0-82 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds! I went on that ride with my aunt every time because my mom did not want to go on it! We spent the whole day going on roller coasters like those, and it was a really great way to spend a day!

 Unfortunately, the next day meant that it was time to go back home. My mom and I went down to the beach one last time before getting back in the car to go home, and before either of us knew it, we were back at our house. The rest of my Fall Break was spent with friends while my mom was at work and then having soccer practices at night. On this last weekend before school starts back up, my team played in the Challenge tournament, but unfortunately, we only won one of our games that we played.

 It was also unfortunate that my grandparents from Prescott happened to come down to watch one of our games which we lost pretty bad in, and it was not a very good showing. Admittedly, we did get a little unlucky in a couple of the games. We hit the crossbar and post a total of six times in the first and second game combined! That was the end of Fall Break though, and now it is back to school in this upcoming week. Thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!
