The Muddy Players

Two weeks ago, JoJo had a soccer game, and it had been raining for two days prior to the game. As you can guess, the field was soaked, and there were so many puddles to even count.

There was no way for the kids to avoid getting muddy. The players were wet, and decorated with mud like war heroes!

Re-Group


Coach was giving them a pep talk after the first quarter! Since I was not sure if it was ok to take the kids pictures and put them on my blog, I went with a safer route with just their backs and their feet.

Getting Down to Business


Serious game strategy was being discussed, and this team had won all their games up to this point. They were not about to lose a game because of the muddy field.

Half-Time


When half-time rolled around, the kids were heavily soak in mud. Their shoes and socks were in deep water, but their spirit were still high.

Back at Home


Well, if you think I was crazy taking picture of everything, you are not alone! JoJo said the same thing, but I thought to capture this moment was just great...

Number Nine


The shirt seemed to survive the mud better than the socks. Every time the player ran, you could see the mud shooting up onto their bodies. It was really something to see! Luckily, the weather was tolerable enough without making them sick.

Orange Socks or Brown Socks?


You could hardly see the orange socks anymore! I had to rinse his muddy clothes outside before I could put them in the washer, and the shoes had to try in the sun.

The Muddy Boy


You can't see the mud on JoJo's face clearly in this picture! He was worn out after the game, and ready to go back to bed. He scored one goal in this game!

Soccer is one of JoJo's favorite sports, and he can play all day with his soccer ball! He uses my neighbor's garage wall to kick the ball around, and I am afraid one of these days that privilege will be all gone since that house is now for sale!
