Today was the first official day of Anden's
tackle football practice!!
He was SO excited!!
Last week they had their conditioning camp
and now the regular season starts!
He's playing for the
Cave Creek Falcons
Well about 10 mins into practice the skies got very angry
It was SO windy that equipment, chairs, etc were blowing across the field.
I felt like I was going to blow away too!
I hurried and texted Ryan to see if the storm had hit Anthem yet.
He said it was pouring so hard the streets and backyard were flooded.
And right then the storm hit Cave Creek too!
We rushed to our cars as sideways sheets of rain poured out on us!
Needless to say the 5 minute wait it out turned into a formal cancellation of practice!
And then started the trek back home.
Cave Creek is even more rural than Anthem.
So the streets flood very easily.
And I happen to be driving the stick shift sporty ATS that day instead of my big bus.
We were sliding all over, getting covered in splashes from the bigger vehicles
and could hardly even see out the window.
I was clutching the steering wheel like it was back in the Idaho snowstorms days!
But of course Anden was able to make a movie to document it! lol
There were downed trees and street lights all along Carefree Highway.
The rain got so intense that I no longer felt safe driving that little car in it.
So we finally had to pull over and wait it out.
We conveniently picked Chili's restaurant
and turned football practice into a Mommy/Anden date night!!
There's always sunshine amongst the storms!
Such a fun little night with my boy.
