Today it rained all day. It had rained all night too. I thought that soccer would be cancelled because they are playing on the new fields now and the senior players are fairly precious about them. I was wrong. The new fields have better drainage and they were able to play. They got completely soaked. They had so much fun! I remember those games as a kid too. The games where we got to get wet and dirty and play in the mud, all with encouragement rather than derision. Those games were the most memorable. Levi and his mates ran around and were cheered on by parents from random teams as they lost a hard fought 6:5. All the teams are playing so much better and are really fun to watch now. OK, it wasn't that much fun to stand in the pouring rain and watch but it was still fun!It was hard to take any photos that reflect the pounding rain, especially as the best I had for the conditions was my underwater camera!
You can see how hard Levi is laughing in this photo. It is such a blessing to watch these kids have fun and run around like mad things.
