On Friday we went to Vermont to watch Saturday's Women's World Cup at Killington. Mila was also very excited that our hotel had a pool. The Nashoba team was invited to be part of the parade of nations and Mila got to carry the Albania flag. It was very cool to watch some amazing ski racing. The kids were able to meet some of the racers and get pictures and autographs.
Today was a very busy Thanksgiving. Yesterday, Mila and I spent most of the day cooking. Then this morning we ran the Concord turkey trot followed by a post-race breakfast at our house. Then it was off to Hudson for Thanksgiving dinner.
Yesterday was Elan's 13th birthday! He had scouts so we couldn't celebrate on his birthday but we took him out for dinner and opened presents after. For dinner, Elan wanted a sushi boat!
The kids had another swim meet this weekend. Mila won all of her races! Elan wasn't feeling well so he stayed home so he could make sure he made it to the scouts event on Sunday. On Sunday, Elan spent all morning with the scouts collecting turkeys to donate to a food shelter in Boston. While Elan was at scouts, Mat and Mila went to the Cross-Country ski team kick off party.
This weekend was the end of the fall soccer season. Mila had a game with the town team (white) and Liverpool (red). She had a great season!
Elan wasn't able to do soccer this weekend because he was busy with scouts. They had a winter skills training. Also, Elan has been working really hard at scouts and has earned the rank of Tenderfoot.
We also went to the Concord Youth Theater's play. It was really fun to see middle school/high school kids putting on a really good show.
On Sunday, Mat and Elan went to the movies so Mila and I went out to lunch and got our nails done.
The first swim meet of Otters was on Saturday. Mila had great races and fun with her friends. Elan was at a soccer game and tried to make the swim meet but just missed it! So, we went for ice cream instead. On Sunday Elan had a make up soccer game where he scored once and had one assist. He had a great game!
