Spring Soccer?

I looked out the window this morning and hoped the soccer coach would call, but assumed he wouldn't. So we prepared the treats and bundled ourselves up for an adventure.



Here is Sam, already cold 5 minutes after arriving at the field, so he is wearing the zip-out lining of my coat while dad grabs his coat from home.



I think the kids are a little warmer while running around. Fortunately, not too many of them fell while running, and they didn't even complain very much. We had 7 kids show up and the other team only had 4, so some of our team played on their team. Our best player (who is in our ward), played for them during the first half, and for us during the second half. I think he made all the goals. :)


Ah! Hot chocolate for half-time treat. Good idea, mom. :)

Needless to say, Mom, Dad, and Sam were all pretty frozen by the time we were done!

Soccer practice was on Thursday, and it appeared to be a beautiful day if you looked to the East.


...but then look West a bit....

...and a bit more...


The wind was insane! But the storm didn't actually arrive until after we got home, thank goodness!
