Our game day last Friday was probably one of the windiest days I’ve ever experienced! The goals were blowing all over the place, the balls weren’t staying in position, and there were even a few dirt devils swirling around the field. Did that stop us? Not even for a second! It really turned out to be a great day. We had a lot of people show up. One special group of Starbucks volunteers showed up and made Gatorade for the kids and even set up a face-painting table. We had paintings of cute little butterflies to stars painted on the cheeks, and even a few mustaches and unibrows on some of the girls. The girls got into it more than the boys, but all in all, everyone had a great time. Thank you Starbucks f
or making this game day one to always remember.

Across town at Anson Jones Elementary School, the wind was blowing just as hard. Luckily we had stakes to hold down the goals, but they still managed to flip over a few times from the forceful gusts of wind. At times, I thought the tiny third graders would be blown away, but they all persevered and played as hard as they always do. The new school, Lida Hooe, came out to Anson Jones and showed their new skills out on the soccer field while friends and families watched. We may not have had face painting, but we still had lots of fun!
