snowy saturday

I have been kicking myself all day!!!! I should have taken the camera to soccer! Friday night had been a blustery evening, at one point it was even snowing but not sticking. It didn't occur to me that just a few miles away where the boys would be playing soccer the fields would be covered with snow. That's just what we found when we showed up Saturday morning. I felt so sorry for those boys out there trying to kick that frozen soccer ball that rolled like it was filled with cement. The boys told me later that their feet were so cold they couldn't feel them and so they weren't ever sure if they were really kicking the ball. It all reminded me of some sort of weird snowy - hippo - soccer -modern- ballet, because many of the boys (not all) were very bundled-up causing them to not move like they normally would, the snow was very slippery and they just couldn't stay on their feet. Like I said before I wish I had taken the camera. Maybe it's more entertaining to try to imagine it yourself.
