Towards the end of a very enjoyable weekend spent with my parents, Leo and Sandy, last weekend, we packed up the mini van and attended Cassie's second soccer game of the year at St. Henry's. The game was fun, and Cassie continued to do so very well, scoring three goals all in the second quarter! She is starting to enjoy the game more and more and uses her speed very well. She was even called for a foul or two for pushing, which made her dad very proud. :)
During the game the winds began to pick up as the remnants of Hurricane Ike moved into the Miami Valley area. Coupled with a strong cold front and very hot weather, wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour moved into the area very suddenly. A very tall tree was cut in half by the wind, breaking and falling very close to the soccer field and families watching the game. Needless to say that ended the game and everyone ran for their cars. Leo and Sandy, who had already packed up for the weekend, got into their Tahoe and drove home to St. Louis. Our family ran to the mini van and headed home, dodging downed trees and other debris. This was the beginning of an event filled and "powerless" week.
