Chicago Fire Soccer Game

We took the boys to their first professional soccer game at Soldier Field.  We had great seats in the 3rd row.  We met another soccer family at the game - the Alexander family.  Their son Maddox plays on Grayson's soccer team at Chicago City Soccer.  They also have an older daughter Sophia who plays for  the same club team, but the girls team.  Maddox's dad (Brad) and I went to college together at EIU.  He was in a fraternity that was very close with my sorority and we had a lot of common friends.  I was shocked when our sons' played for the same club soccer team in Chicago - such a small world.  We've become friends with them and I love his wife Ann (they happen to be neighbors with a high school friend of mine - Ashley Hutti).  Again, such a small world!  Chicago Fire played really well and won the game 2-1 against New York Red Bulls.  There was only at 40% chance of rain, but it started pouring rain and we got soaked.  Luckily it was warm outside so it wasn't a big deal.  We are already talking about our next soccer game.  What a fun night!
