Spring Break 2025: St. Andrews & Edinburgh

Spring Break 2025 took us to Scotland! 

As soon as we landed on Sunday afternoon, we headed to St. Andrews.  On Sundays, The Old Course is open to the public to walk.  Needless to say, the Kasparek golfers were in heaven! 

The famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole

Enjoyed a pint of beer at The Dunvegan

Monday was our day to explore Edinburgh. We wandered through the park near the castle on our way to Holyrood.

Tour of the Palace of Holyrood

We walked up the Royal Mile to the castle

We took a little drive to see the Rosslyn Chapel

Camden wanted to go for a run, so we found a pub in the next town over for him to meet us.  

The Masons Arm had the BEST pub dog! 💗

As the Italians say, Marzo pazzo, has lived up to its name!  It's been a busy month for the Kasparek family...

Starting Senior Soccer Season

I've blinked and here we are at Camden's final high school sports season. We kicked off soccer with a road trip to Rome to play MMI.

The Wildcats played their hearts out, but came up short 3-4

Here are a few pictures of Camden playing defense

Proud of our favorite Wildcat!

Game 2 was our home opener at Carney Park against Aviano

Our starting goalie is dealing with a hand injury, and the backup goalie was sick all week, so guess who played his Dad's old position? 😉

Maria, Sherri, Amy, and I enjoying the game

Amazing 8-1 victory for the Wildcats

Before the soccer season kicks off this weekend, I need to get caught up on the craziness that was February and the beginning of March...

Camden earned 4.0 and above honor roll for the 1st semester👏

The last weekend in February was our annual Athletic Booster Club Spring Bazaar.  Maria and I got to promote the event on AFN Radio.

Camden earned a ton of volunteer hours over the weekend

Michelle and I were twinning on our 4-Peat Football Champions sweatshirts
