Softball week....

This was our last official week of U6 softball. Grace had an amazing season. Being the oldest on the team gave her the experience and know-how to hit at least one home run a game and actually make some plays and get some outs. I know it sounds easy to us, but making plays in softball was really hard to some of the girls on her team and then this year, it clicked with Grace and she was a great little go-getter on the field. We are proud of her and know that she had a great time meeting new little girls and learning more about the game. In the fall she moves up to U8 league and her coach from last season already is saving her a spot on his team. The photo above is from the park. Parker kept trying to get closer to the fish...I just knew he was going to fall in!

Tuesday night we had her softball party at a local park. It was just a chance for the girls to get together and play in a non-softball setting. It was fun for the girls and the little sister and brother enjoyed it as well! The girls ate, played at the park, fed some ducks and tore up a softball pinata. We had some really nice coaches this year and they went all out for the girls team party.

Last night were the league softball awards at the ball park. They had a hot dog supper complete with Dr. Pepper and Doritos's (because you know you just can't eat hot dogs!) The girls all sat together and received their trophy from their coaches. Grace got a little extra surprise from her coaches. She was named best all around player with a great attitude which is now called the sportsmanship trophy. She was about to BURST she was so excited! All the girls got a trophy and then they give out the Most Improved Trophy and the Sportsmanship Trophy....She was really surprised and you could tell that she had no idea that she was going to get the extra trophy. She took it to school today to show her class.

Parker kept trying to claim them both as his own....maybe he should learn how to catch first! It was a great season, but now I'm ready to have my Mondays and Thursdays back at home and the sweet kids in bed before 9 PM!! We're going to Six Flags tonight with some friends from Graham...anyone else want to join us??
