FC Cincinnati vs. Crystal Palace

Yusaku has taken on a new, second job as coach of the Oakwood JV Boys soccer team. He's excited about it and I am happy for him, even if it means we will see him a little less during the first few months of the school year. Thanks to his new role, he got four free tickets to a professional soccer game in Cincinnati last weekend that one of the soccer parents was giving away. He and I have been to a Columbus Crew game before, but we've never taken the kids to a professional soccer game. This was a perfect opportunity to try it with them since it was free! It was hot and there was a record crowd of over 35,000 people, but we had fun! The kids especially enjoyed getting to stay up late and watch the fireworks (while eating ice cream!).
