Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Today was an exciting day for everyone.  First Meg got to play indoor soccer against the second Wawasee team.  She had been interested in doing so since she found out there would be two teams.  Meg played very well, scoring two goals in the first half and making some fantastic stops as goalie in the second half.  Her team won 7-1.  This was the first game that I had stayed and watched.  I was impressed with how much the girls have improved.  Doug did not care who won or lost.  He was just happy that he had enough for two teams.  The more girls that work in the off season at soccer, the better his team will be in the fall.

While we were at soccer, Cam and Brett went bowling at the alley next door.  They were able to get in three games in an hour.  Cam is interested in having his birthday party there after trying it out.  It would be great place since he wants to invite both his friends from Milford and Bethany Christian.  After soccer the five of us went to see the much anticipated "Star Wars:  The Force Awakens."  Everyone has been talking about it and the reviews have been positive.

We all liked it, but one key part was extremely disappointing to me, Meg and Cam.  That skewed our opinion a little.  Cal went to see it with Jayce and Alex tonight as well.  The three of them had watched Star Wars movies most of the night last night and also were looking forward to it.  Cal loved the movie.  The part that I did not care for he felt was necessary for the story line.  I know he is right, but sure didn't like it.  The best part of the movie for me was the tie in to the original - A New Hope.  All of the characters were back along with answers to what happened to everyone after Return of the Jedi.  The ending of The Force Awakens definitely has me highly interested in the next one.
