it had rained the night before, so you knew this morning’s game was going to be challenging.  As if the girls weren’t struggling to get their own feet under them firmly for their first year of soccer, and in life, but now “someone” had to throw mud all over the field.  At times, playing with the mud when out of the game, was more interesting than the game itself.  The result was a lot of fun, a LOT of mud, and a “post last game pizza party”.
