We started out the season in the blistering heat. I think the first game day was the hottest day of the entire year, and unlike last year, none of our kids were playing on fields with shade for the parents. So we died that day, and then learned and brought our own shade for the rest of the season.
And almost every game had some wind...but some games were worse than others!
Then there were a few perfect days out on the field. I loved watching Jonathan's team play, and I was so glad not to be coaching this year!!
We even got to play in the snow!!
You can only see tiny patches of snow left on the field (there was more when we started the game), but the whole city was covered, and despite the cold, it was one of the best game days for our kids. Snow makes everything magical!
Tyler: started out the season just having fun with soccer, but half-way through the season he finally caught on and loved scoring goals!! It may have had something to do with his dad bribing him :)
Jonathan: Had a great season with a good team and great coach. They won most of their games, and Jonathan was sad that they didn't make the playoffs. There were 16 teams in his division!!
Suzanna: Had the most organized, experienced volunteer coaches I have ever seen. They held super long practices and worked the kids hard, which made their team great. They didn't lose a single game, but tied once, and went on to win the championship.
Brendon: Did not have a great season. He had coach issues (first coaches were married couple...who turned out not to be married because man was still married to previous wife. Man goes to jail, woman stays on to coach with new "cousin," but then gets cut because she's involved with drugs somehow. No lie. Third set of coaches tries to resurrect the team, but it's too little too late). He's hoping he can join the high school soccer team next year and that it will be much, much better.
