Real Salt Lake Soccer Team visits our school

Leo the Lion
Salt Lake Real's Mascot

Today we had a very special visit at our school from the Real Salt Lake Soccer Team. The whole team wasn't actually there, just 2 players and the mascot. But it was very exciting to have them come and show off their Championship trophy. Tyus and Peyton have really gotten into soccer and we have followed Real this last year and watched a lot of their games. We even watched the game that they won the championship. It was a very exciting game to and we were very excited that they won.

Tyus and one of his friends, Riley, got chosen to help with a cheer

Little did Chad know that dads had to help with the cheer too. They did a great job and Chad actually got into with the boys. (Maybe even a little more) What a good sport!!!

It really was cool to see

It was really fun having them come to our little community. It doesn't happen everyday that you get to be a part of a championship with one of the states sports team. Thanks to the Real Salt Lake organization for allowing us to be a part of their success.

That looks like you had fun. I like Baileys hair, I cant tell if she got a perm or what but she looks so cute. I hope you guys are doing well!
