This morning was Gabby's first soccer game, at least the only one she remembers since she played with her friend Tyler when she was 3 but does not recall. Anyway, she and Carl were both very excited to start this season until the cold front blew in yesterday! The temp was 25 with a wind chill of 15! The kids were MISERABLE! I was shocked that the games were not cancelled.
So we headed out to the field at 9 am bundled up and ready. We have 6 girls on the team and we play 3 v 3. One of our girls showed up in shorts and her parents took her home before the start of the game and one girl did not show (smart parents)! So we have 4 players and we need 3 to play on the field. By the end of the first half 2 of our girls were crying because they were so cold and Carl finally called the game.
So our first game lasted just shy of 20 minutes and the girls will probably never want to play again! I have to say though they were really playing great and if they get back out there to play they may just have a really good season! Go SuperKickers!

Poor little girls! I would have been freezing too. Of course, I'm a native Texas and think any temp below 55 degrees is COLD! LOL! She looks precious and I sure hope she gives it another try. I want to see some action shots.
Welcome back to blogland btw. ;)
Oops. Meant native TexaN. I shouldn't type when I'm so sleepy. :P
so cute! Tyler remembers a litte from when played with her. I remember all they did is run around holding hands!
Hmmm...I think we would've been one of the families that stayed home that morning! Poor little girlies! Glad the game didn't last long, but I'm sure Gabby loves having her daddy as coach.
We've missed your posts, girl!
