Concert/Coincidence in the Park

Every Tuesday, the park district offers a concert in the park. They have been doing this for years, and the concerts always vary, sometimes it is a band, sometimes a choir, and the genre varies as well. Tonight, a family friend was performing in the choir. It was a nice act, and since it is so close to the fourth of July, many of the songs were patriotic themed.

Going today reminded me of a time from my youth. When I played on a specific soccer team, a few of us would get together on Tuesday nights at the park across from the beach, practice, get eaten by the mosquitoes, then head over to the beach. Us girls would jump into the lake to cool off, then we would eat pizza and enjoy the concert. This was something that I have always cherished from my teenage years, it was something simple but so great.

I haven't seen my coach in about six years. I played on his team for about four years, and we had a great group of core girls. As I was walking around taking pictures of the concert and the people at it, I heard someone yell my name, I looked around, and saw a couple waving at me. At first I didn't recognize them, but then it hit me, it was Dave and Sarah! As I said, I haven't seen Dave in so many years. It was so much fun telling them what I had been up to, and what I am going to be doing. We agreed that it would be great to get together (the core group of girls) sometime over the next year. I really hope that we do that.
