Aisling played in the Northern California State Cup today. The game was in Sacramento. Because it had been so beautiful yesterday, I sort of assumed that we would have good weather for the game. Boy was that wrong!!! We drove up to Sacramento early in the morning and when we got there, it was cold and windy. I wasn't prepared - didn't have a warm enough jacket, no blanket etc. I stayed in the car until the game started just so I wouldn't freeze to death!
Aisling's team, the Scorpions, hasn't had a good record this year. Also, very few girls could make the game today, so they ended up putting only 9 players on the field. Aisling was the only one on offense, the coach elected to put a full defense out there. That turned out to be a great move, and the game ended up 0-0, which really felt like a victory to all of us. It was great!
After the game, one of the parents brought all the kids over to her car and showed us a pair of baby goats she has recently acquired. They were cute, and warm too! I can't imagine having pet adult goats, but the baby goats were cute. They even made the "baa" sound for us a few times. Also, we learned that they don't like being held with their feet in the air, for some reason. All the girls fussed over them.
Gordon, Aisling and I stopped at a Mexican restaurant called Adalbertos on the way home, and we got the largest meals I have ever seen in my entire life. Even the tortillas were supersized!! The food was great, even if we did have to bring half of it home. It was just a fun day.
