Thanks Aunt Tommie for the Soccer Goal for the kids!!

Many of you have probably read about the toy situation here at our Jardin.  In the last post, Chelsey's mom repeated Chelsey's often stated line that this is the place where toys come to die.  I was watching Toy Story last week and realized that our toys look like they came from Sid's room.

Anyhow, last week, after receiving a generous donation from my Aunt Tommie (Houston) our kids' toy situation took a turn for the better.  With the donation in hand, Chelsey and I ventured to the hardware store to inquire about PVC piping.  Hardware stores here are not as complete as Home Depot but after a little looking we found what we needed.

We have some all-star soccer players in Jardin and they often played in the yard but they did not have a goal.  One evening of work later, with the help of some internet instructions, we had this awesome soccer goal.

Chelsey's dad, Glenn, went shopping and found us a net.  A net is something you only typically find on nice (pay to play) or professional fields.

We have some very happy kids in Jardin.  I put together a compilation of some of the football footage from last week (below).  One final  note, I am pretty positive that Leondro will be a professional.  He is 4 years old.  Enjoy.
