We didn’t do all that much the last few weeks of trackout break before the Hayley went back to school – between the snow, her new laptop, scooter and video games, she was content to lay low and goof off. But she did go to a cheerleading day camp for a week, we hit our favorite museum, got mani-pedis, read a lot, had dentist and orthodontist appts, a couple of sleepovers at friends and her basketball season is in full swing as well (I’ll post some hoops photos soon)
As most of you know, I tend to shoot almost every sporting event Hayley plays in and share the pictures with the team. Of course fall soccer, playing for the Triangle United U13 Breakers, was no exception. For this set, I pulled out the shots of just Hayley. Updated Jan. 3rd, I’ve added all the ones of Hayley now.

We went to Top of the Hill for the Butch Davis Radio Show on Wednesday night. Hayley got the man himself to sign her ‘I Support Butch’ shirt. (and no, Jeff didn’t come with us, hahaha)

Hayley had a soccer tournament down in Wilmington this weekend in May and we had such a great time!! I’ll post more photos later!
We stayed down on Wrightsville at the Blockade Runner and made sure to hit a lot of old spots I love from my years in Wilmington. We hit the Oceanic with Nicole, Trolley stop for hotdogs, the Fish House for a fantastically fun team dinner and then Elijah’s so I could get my crab dip fix. Funny to be outside Elijah’s with Jeff and Hayley – brought back a lot of memories of the gang down there. I ate lots of crab and buffalo shrimp, heck I think drank more this weekend than I have in past two years combined.
The games on Saturday were tough – long story but the kids still had fun that night at dinner (the parents had more fun). In the first game Saturday, Hayley’s team played a team with several kids she played three years of rec soccer with from ages 6 to 9. Then on the next field over was another child from that same team too. Getting to see those three kids and their parents was really neat for us. TThank goodness Sunday’s soccer was much better and a nice solid win to end the season for the kids.
We had to go back to the beach after that last game and I’m glad we did – three dolphins showed up on the beach and Hayley was just beside herself over it. She’s getting older and those moments of rare unbridled joy of childhood are getting less frequent.
As most of you know, I tend to shoot almost every sporting event Hayley plays in and share the pictures with the team. Of course spring soccer, playing for the Triangle United U12 Sting, was no exception. For this set, I pulled out the shots of just Hayley. Her team did really well in the regular season, winning their league title and losing only one game. They finished up with a tournament in Wilmington that I’ve posted about below – I do still need to add the pictures from the tournament.
Tryouts for Triangle United soccer team for next season were a few weeks ago and Hayley was excited to make the U13 Breakers challenge team for next year.

Forgot to post these! These are from the second part of the UNC 100 years of Basketball celebration Alumni game, the part in February. This very well could be the last public appearance of legendary UNC Coach Dean Smith and I’m so glad Hayley was able to see it. That was the highlight of course but other memorable moments include seeing the oldest UNC basketball alumni around actually playing ball again – guys in their 70s and 80s on the court! They broke up the game into segments being played by groups of players from a similar era. Very cute.
