2/26/22 Another Friday Night Soccer Game?

     Baby A had another fun filled Friday night going to watch the girls' soccer team.  This week it was only one game and not the two like last week that had us sitting in the car waiting for one game to finish so we could drive him to the next one.  The big difference to me was the weather.  At game time, it was about 35 and about the time we picked him up a couple hours later, the temps were down a bit more, but even worse, it had started to drizzle pretty hard.

    This week, he chose to go as a big party, and although I only picked him and two friends up after school, around 4:00pm, he supposedly has a light schedule on Friday, class wise, so he was waiting for me at the Dairy Queen across the street.  By 5:00pm, another two boys showed up at the house, and by the time the game was starting at 6:00pm, he had another boy we were supposed to go and pick up.  The only problem here is that my Excursion is still sitting there without its catalytic converter, so I am driving the Escape and there is a big difference in how many people can fit in the vehicle, not that it mattered.  First thing I did was go and place the bleacher seats we use to watch wrestling in the back of the Escape, then I loaded two of the smaller boys back there.  They complained and whined the whole way, but it was the only way to get them all to the game in one trip.  We stopped and picked up the other guy and got to the game a little after it had started.

    I then came home; Wife had arrived by then and she had gotten to work on some project.  She suggested we go get snacks for the boys so they would have stuff to snack on after we got them home.  At this, we headed to Target, got a bunch of stuff, then before we paid, Mijo was already calling that the game had ended.  This sucked because we hadn't paid yet, so we had to do that, run to the house to drop off the ice cream and sausages we bought for breakfast, then turn around and head to them.  As we were driving, the drizzle started.  I felt a little bad that we weren't there faster, but it is what it is.  By the time we got to the stadium, only a few of the big lights were on and we just saw a pack of wet boys running towards us, with the drizzle they were all visibly cold and looking for the heat in the car.

    We all fit a little better in the Telluride, except it has captain seats in the middle row, so one of the boys still had to sit on a 12-pack of sodas.  We took them to eat at Mod Pizza after, which some of them hadn't tried, all the pizza was eaten, then we headed home.  I know they were all up late, it's what they do, while Wife and I went up to our room and I called it an early night.
