First Soccer Game

I don't remember if I have posted about Lani playing soccer, but she is getting to play for the first time this year and she is playing through Frazer, Sonshine Soccer! I tried to get Robert to coach but he was not so sure about that. He played in High School and I knew Lani would love that. Robert said maybe next year. Well, my friend (Susan) from work's little boy, Drew, was playing. They ended up being short on coaches so they called Drew's daddy, Rob to coach. Rob played sports in high school, but has never played soccer. He agreed to coach, but Susan called me and told me Robert had to be the assistant :) So Robert ended up getting to coach! Lani was very excited.

Monday was the first game and we all got ready and headed out to the fields. Everyone had their blankets and chairs out and the kids were practicing on the field. They annouced each team and each player on team and blew the whistle to start. Literally a minute after blowing the whistle, a big bolt of lightning came out of the sky. So we all had to pack up and head to the cars where they eventually called off the games.

We ended up going to eat with the Macrory's at Mellow Mushroom. Mattie had come to the game along with Preston's grandparents (Mattie and them are best friends), so we all had a good time visiting at dinner. The kids obviously didn't mind missing out on the game!
