Blessing in disguise

Today was supposed to be Kylie’s first day of soccer, but due to the massive amounts of rain we have been getting lately it was canceled. The school we are supposed to be playing at has there soccer field located out back, however it is in a low lying portion of the property. This means that there is the potential for soccer to be canceled even if it hasn’t rained since Thursday depending on how much rain we get. While it was disappointing that today’s soccer was canceled (we knew last night at around 9pm) it turned out to be a good thing for Kylie because of ballet. In addition to today being Kylie’s first day of soccer it was also the morning that her ballet class was having there pictures taken for rehearsal. All the kids across all the different classes at her dance academy all went to a professional photography studio and had, at the very least, a picture taken with their entire class (if everyone showed up of course) and if desired they also had individual portraits taken, while wearing their recital costume. Each class was given a schedule time slot and even though Kylie’s class was scheduled for 9am to 10am (soccer starts at 10am and goes to 11am) she did not get finished with pictures until almost 10:40am, and she was only there for the group picture. So as it turns out she would have missed the first day of soccer anyway even if it weren’t canceled. Hopefully the weather will be nicer for next weekend and then we can have our real first day of soccer.
