Saturday afternoon Katie went with the team to Springfield, Missouri. For dinner they went to the famous Lathrop's restaurant -- home of the thrown roll. After over an hour wait Katie had a nice steak dinner and three rolls. Being a huge roll fan, she rated them as good, but not great. The next day they played Missouri State and lost 0-1. I wonder if the results could have been different if Katie was in the game??? I think so. Drew made the trip to Springfield to cheer on the team. Dave & I skipped the game.
Yesterday, Labor Day, Katie bought a bunch of the freshman girls home for a pool/birthday party. They all enjoyed a day off from soccer by getting out of their dorm rooms and being in a relaxing home environment. They have been at school for a month now and some are feeling a little homesick.
Here are the birthday girls, Natalia (L-from California) and Brooke (R-from Texas).
Dinner was leftovers from Kellie's wedding, pulled pork and bbq chicken sandwiches. It was still yummy! I packed up a bunch of sandwiches and sent them back with the girls.

Enjoying the pool. Carrie liked Rocky because she reminded her of her dog at home.
Kellie and Chris (& Pogo) came over too. Kellie made cupcakes, which also went back to school with the girls.
I loved having the girls over. There are so many new faces and names to get to know, so this really helps. There were 11 girls in all, 3 from California, 2 from Arkansas, 2 from Texas, and 1 each from Kansas, Missouri, Florida and, of course, Oklahoma. It was a fun day!
