The day started off nice, playing by the river with their puppy Rex, the skies were clear and we were optimistic. However, after our 20 min drive over to Blacksburg, we got out of the car to freezing weather and very cloudy skies. After a trip to the bookstore for a sweatshirt, we were in better shape for a bit, but only briefly.
As we started walking to the game, the skies opened up and we were all pretty well soaked by a few minutes into the 1st quarter. Poncho's may have helped had we put them on early enough, but unfortunately, we just weren't well planned out this game. It usually takes a couple of games to get the rythem of being prepared for the circumstances that may present in Blacksburg. Our last few years of 1 or 2 games a season has made our minds a little more fuzzy at remembering just what might happen.
Despite the rain and the miserable loss, we did still have fun. Thankfully, just 1 bag of skittles was all it took to make it fun for Charlie.
Luckily, they agreed to let them play.
Awesome! That's quite a milestone.
