This was a gorgeous day to sit outside and watch a beautiful, talented, 21-year-old great niece play soccer! This is her being introduced at the start of the game. What you can't see is that her family and friends were holding up signs that said happy birthday and happy 21st birthday...plus we had birthday hats on!! She was a wee bit embarrassed...her teammates also enjoyed her birthday as you can tell!
The Wartburg Knights beat the Coe Kohawks 2-0. We had about 30 shots on goal to their 4 so the 2-0 score was not indicative of how the game went. This game was starting to look like a full-tackle football game for a while. The Coe girls (especially #21) were pretty rough. It was fun though. Kaylee actually had a shot on goal today - she plays Forward and she's back far enough that she doesn't get to do much shooting, but she had a shot on goal that I thought might go in today. Unfortunately the goalie caught it!
After the game, she was subjected to ever more humiliation! She had to hold brightly colored balloons and wear her birthday hat!! Poor girl, she couldn't even go out for her big birthday. They have a game again tomorrow, and there's no way she is going to take a chance on getting caught drinking the night before a game. She said she can wait until soccer's over!
I didn't get home from CR until about 6:30 and after sitting outside in the sun all day, I was starting to get a bit tired driving. I was glad I got home when I did!
More later...
