The All Clean Sparklers had their first game today! Unfortunately, they got "all clean"from rain but the only sparkle came from lightning in the sky. Lowery has been so excited for her first game - the team had a pizza party last night complete with pizza, soccer cookies - and they got all prepared with soccer tattoos, ribbons and uniforms. Thanks Coach Kyle for such a great party and for getting us ready!
However, all of the preparation could not hold off the weather. The game was to be at 11:20. We showed up at 10:45 for warm up and the skies were threatening (check out the background in the pictures). It rained a little on and off, but we were hoping it would "go around" us. The girls got through warm up and had just started to play with the bottom fell out and the flood ensued. Lightning was crashing everywhere as we made a mad dash for the car. We wound up soaking wet, drowned rats. Maybe it was God's way of keeping us from a loss, as we were already down 1 -0 in the early going.
Oh, well - the girls had fun and it was a memorable first game. We have another game on Tuesday and this time the Sparklers will prevail!!
Lowery you look great girl !!
ReplyDeleteMicayla is playing soccer also, so when you two get older you both can play thru Shiloh !!
Our first practice was rained out today, but there will plenty of games to make up for that... doesn't make Micayla any happier to hear that, but she survived..
Go Sparklers !
Lowry is precious! Good luck at the next game.
