Soccer Saturday

As usual we had soccer yesterday. Trystan's game was bright (well cloudy) and early at 8am. We arrived and set up our chairs and the girls practiced for a couple of minutes. She was playing a team that had jersey's that were fluorescent green. They were so bright it didn't matter that the sun was nowhere to be found. The game started and Trystan was at the back of the pack. I think she just likes to run around the field. She's not really into taking the ball away from the other girls so she can kick it. So we let her be. Well at half time she was out on the field practicing again and was going up and down the field dribbling. Her coach saw her and asked why she didn't do that during the game. He told her that she could take the ball away from the other team. So that is what happened. She took the ball away twice and scored two goals. They happened to be in the other teams goal but at least she played the game.
We didn't get to stay for her entire game because Bailey had pictures so we left about 5 minutes early. But I didn't have a problem with leaving because the sprinkles had started. We got Bailey to pictures on time but they were running behind so we had to wait. As we were waiting the sprinkles turned into full on monsoon rain. There was really no place to keep dry so everybody at the park that didn't have umbrellas were under the trees. The rain was coming down so hard that the trees didn't do much. After about half an hour pictures were done and the rain had slowed. So off to Target to buy a shirt for Bailey to put under her jersey and water.
Bailey's game was at 10:30 and we had to be there at 10. Trystan and I set up the chairs again and had our snack. Her game started on time and the sky's had started to clear. Her team is playing really well together and scored 3 goals the first half. Bailey played left defender and they didn't allow any goals and only one shot. The second half the other team scored almost right away but then no more shot were allowed. We scored one more time and the sun came out. So it was a good ending to a day that had it's ups and downs.
