How to Enjoy a Soccer Game


How to enjoy a soccer game...on a cold day.

Since Mother Nature won't seem to let go of winter, we're experiencing the chill for yet another day in the South. Waking up to temps in the 30's this morning and knowing we had a soccer game made this island girl prepared to brave the cold.

So how do you enjoy a soccer game on a cold and windy day? 

Wear layers from head to toe. Additionally, wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, sip on warm tea with honey as you sit on a folding chair directly in the sun so its rays can warm you up. Applaud your son each time he scores a goal; remember to cheer for the other team as well. For this age group, everyone's a winner.  At least, that's how it should be.  Watch The Hubs as he coaches and encourages everyone on the team.  Then make small talk with parents and grandparents you haven't seen since the last game.  It helps to pass the time, and it's all about community. 

And when the game's over, pack it all up, make a mad dash for the car, and hope that Mother Earth will grant us warmer temperatures next game.
