Sicilian Soccer Weekend

We had the BEST weekend in Sicily! 

In order to make it to the late afternoon soccer games, the Wildcat parents caught the morning flight to Catania.  A group of us headed to Gambino for a wine tasting and lunch. 

We played Sigonella Friday evening

Camden played goalie for the second half looking into the sun.

2-0 VICTORY!

Bright and early Saturday morning we played Rota

We didn't fly back home until Saturday night, so we hit up Caltagirone for an afternoon adventure

Easter Weekend 2025

We had a jam packed Easter Weekend! Camden and I headed north on Friday for soccer.  The Wildcats played Black Forest Academy at Vicenza Saturday morning.

Home Soccer Vs. Vicenza

Camden spent one last weekend protecting the goal when Vicenza came to town.  He was pretty bored most of the game (which is a good problem for your goalie to have). He did have one amazing assist when he punted past midfield and Magnus made a shot into the net.

Vicenza coming to town means we get to see our favorite friends from up north! 

Sinaia and Herky are great buddies 💓

Avonlea, Camden, & Seren

Saying "see you soon" on Sunday morning 

 

Spring Break 2025: Stirling & Wigtown

Our next adventure was to the town of Stirling

 Stirling Castle was a delight to explore!

Chris had heard about this Keep Smiling sign on a building in town

Afternoon gin tasting 

William Wallace Monument

Our last day's journey was across Scotland to its National Book Town: Wigtown

Chris was thrilled to meet the owner of The Book Shop who is also an author of some favorite books.

We enjoyed a few hours of wandering through other books stores, eating lunch, and reading in the park.  Later on that afternoon we had a tour and tasting at Bladnoch, Scotland's southern most whisky distillery
