Girls Softball

June has been a crazy month we were suppose to have 2 softball games a week for the girls but unfortunately the weather hasn't cooperated. We had to make up the majority of them because of the rain. This last week we had 4 games in 3 days which is a lot for the little ones. We have to be at the ball park at 8:30 am to practice and warm up for the games.

Parker's breakfast on the run


Practice and Warm ups

Yes even Parker was in on the action

Chasing balls

Swinging the bat

And cheering for the girls

Don was an awesome coach and I am glad I was able to help.

I just get to excited to sit on the bleachers and keep my mouth shut.

Paige up to bat

Kodie too

They both did a great job when up to bat or chasing the ball.

They are learning the tricks of the game and enjoying every minute of it.

There were a couple of instances where I had to explain my self after the play, like when Kodie caught a fly ball and got an out. I then yelled at her to touch second base over and over until she casually did it. Then after being all wound up I had to explain she needed to touch the base because the runner on second base ran and can't do that if the ball is caught. She needed to go back to her base. I don't think she will ever forget that play and as soon as the game was over she had to call her dad and tell him all about her double play. Of coarse Paige had to tell him she made a "Home Run" which to her is making it all the way around the bases and actually scoring a point for the team even though it took more than just her batting to do so.

She loves to play catcher. I think it is because she actually gets to touch the ball instead of wait for the ball to maybe come her way in the field.

Paige is way out in center field.

Kodie is in the pitching position. She didn't actually pitch though the coaches pitch to them.

Over all we had a great season season we won about half of the games and the girls had a blast. Now it is my turn. We'll let you know how that goes. :)
