Soccer 2009 - Cold!

This past Monday night - spring soccer practice continued.

Connor and Tegan have their UK soccer classes Monday nights at Tualatin High School. The classes are held by soccer players from England. There was a week we missed because the players had to return to the UK to renew their visas - but we are back on track.

The first week - it snowed for a few minutes at the beginning. Temps in the 30°s.

The second week - it rained. A lot. A good soaking rain. Oh...and temps in the 30°s again.

The third week - it was summer! Temps started in the low 70°s maybe....it did get colder during the night, but I think we ended the night in the 60°s. Nice.

This week, week four. Summer had left without a "Goodbye!" or "Bye your leave" and winter returned without a single "Pardon me" or "Hope you don't mind". The thermometer in the van said it was about 42°. That might be nice if you are an active participant, like Tegan here...

Or like Connor - his class was from 6-7 pm. After his class is over he usually plays with a friend. But the friend was missing this night...so Connor decided to walk the track. Four laps later and he had walked a mile. Nice job!

Brian - dressed for warmth, but still a little cold

The forecasts now put the temperature for next Monday at 80°. No rain. Maybe even time to wear shorts....hmmm...even for the parents on the sidelines. Stay tuned to see how it all turns out!
