And He's OFF

After 3 months of driving to Vancouver for practice and Camp at EFS. Logan has finally left on the trip of a lifetime. He flew out of Vancouver on March 14th, for a 13 day tour of Holland and Spain, to play soccer. We are so proud of him, and I was a little scared to let him go. Thank God for Facebook (I never thought I would say that ). The trip started in Amsterdam, and then on to Spain (Barcelona, Valencia and now Madrid). They are staying at Hostels , and One hotel. There is 28 players and 13 adult chaparones .
This is the team before they left Vancouver airport
And this is one of the final practices in rainy Vancouver
Logan and Corb at YVR just before they got on the plane, and me and Log....notice that I am not crying!! A little nervous but so thrilled for him!


And the Team of 15 and 16 year olds at the potluck dinner/ meeting the week before they left....have I mentioned that we have been driving to Vancouver ever other weekend.

so now it is Thursday, Logan is in Madrid right now, they have one game left to play. And he will be flying home on Sunday. We get update emails every other day. they have toured 3 pro soccer stadiums, gone to a Barcalona FC game, toured cities and gone to the beach in Valencia. Oh and played some soccer too :)
What an amazing experience for a 15 year old boy. Although we miss him, we know that he is probably having the time of his life...and we can't wait for Sunday at 6pm, when he flies into Williams Lake's little airport.

Oh my gosh! What an adventure and experience for Logan!! Eeeeek!! I can just imagine the fun he is having, and how are you holding up? Laura did a Europe trip when she was in college, and I fretted myself to pieces.....then she went and studied in Jerusalem for 4 months and my nerves finally gave up and died. Can't wait to hear all about his trip and whatever experiences he shares with you!
