Soccer Week 4.

Week 4 turned into a mess as we were hit with a lot of rain. The day started with Maddux having his team pictures in the pouring rain. I am not sure why his weren't the same weekend as Brooklyn's but they weren't.


Here are the Red Rhinos.

There was some confusion as the whether or not the games would even be played. The decision was that you were suppose to head to the fields and it would be a ref decision. We showed up at Maddux's game and there was no one there. We waited about 5 minutes and finally we had enough to play 5 on 5. We did have a ref show up and eventually got up to 7 on 7. It was a lot of fun to watch them play in the rain and I think they had a fun time as well. Maddux's team ended up beating the team 9 - 1 with Maddux playing very well. He had two goals and some very nice assists.

As far as Brooklyn's game went her team was the only one that showed up. They did not have one single player from the other team nor the refs show up. I don't know where all the disconnect came from but something they definitely need to work on. It was kind of a good thing that they didn't play because Brooklyn had a kinked neck from jumping on the trampoline that same morning. She couldn't move her neck and was really milking it. I hope they make up the game but not sure if the weather will cooperate for that. The funny thing about the whole situation is that she couldn't move enough to play soccer but that night she had no problem running and jumping around at bounce city. Funny how those things work.

We are suppose to play tomorrow but it is also suppose to rain all morning so hopefully the rain will hold out long enough for us to get the games in.
