Driving home from a soccer tournament at Pepsi Field in north Fargo we saw the most complete and huge rainbow for over 15 minutes tonight. It was gorgeous. I have never seen a rainbow last for such a long time.
Our 14 year old grandson played with his teammates in the soccer tournament (a big one) this weekend. Proud grandparents cannot help but say that our grandson scored a hat trick (3 goals in a row) in yesterday’s game we saw. He is quite an athletic boy….he lopes like a graceful deer up and down the field in his bright orange soccer shoes…I look for the orange shoes to follow him but today the Bismarck team had several boys who were wearing the same orange shoes…..it threw me into a tizzy!!! Grandson learned a lot of soccer skills when he was only 4 or 5 from his big brother and sister. He was well schooled by the time he started playing on league teams.
The games this evening were called due to rain and lightning in the area…but I think they may have finished them by now. We came home and saw that wonderful sight in the east with the big arcing rainbow.
Between our granddaughter’s Shanley High team and now our grandson’s Fargo summer league team I am learning a lot more about soccer play than I ever thought I would or could. It is a great game….it takes real athletes to play and endure the running and kicking and defending and the interesting “heading” of the ball.
I am looking forward to more games this summer—-hopefully in dry weather!!!!
