Soccer Home Opener

The Wildcats hosted Aviano for their home opener today.  Mother Nature was not cooperating and we were anxious to see if we would be able to get the games in.  

 Captains' pre-game meeting

We ready...we ready...

Our favorite Community Recreation Director stopped by Emma's game before all of the Easter egg hunts began

I absolutely love capturing shots of my fierce girl in action 






Emma's goal


Wildcat men pre-game

Between the mangled canopy in the background and Camden's crazy hair, can you tell the storm is rolling in?



We heard some rumbles of thunder and the rain was coming down. When there was a lightning strike, we headed to the pavilion. Before long, it began pouring buckets!

Maria, me, Maria
After the storm passed, they attempted to get the lake of water off the corner of the field.  Ultimately, the refs called the game. :(
