We are taking more advantage of the George Fox athletic events this year than last year. Partly because the kids are older and can handle staying through a game better and partly because the university is really making their athletic events fun to watch! We went to a women's soccer game on a Friday night of Labor Day weekend. The weather was cold, hence the stocking caps on the kids.
After 10 minutes of play, lightning was spotted so the players left the field and fans were encouraged to leave the aluminum bleachers we were sitting on. They would resume play after 30 minutes if no other lightning was spotted. We took the time to go home since the field is only 2 minutes from our house. After 30 minutes at home, Laurel and Levi decided they were tired and didn't want to go back to the game. Matt and Erika went back to watch the rest, which was played since the weather stayed decent. Erika is really enjoying soccer this year so it was fun for her to be able to watch college girls playing!
This past Saturday was the home opener of George Fox football. The weather was super hot. The kids and I only lasted for 1.5 quarters and then we went home. The kids are part of the "Penn Pals Club", a kids fan club hosted by the George Fox mascot, Pennington the Bear. They each got a tshirt which will get them into any GF sports event for free, as well as some adult tickets to attend games.
After blazing in the sun for 10 minutes, we found some caramel corn and some shade to enjoy the rest of our time at the game! I am looking forward to the other 3 home games.....maybe we will leave the kids at home with Grandma because they can't last an entire football game yet!
