Softball

We have finally joined the rest of America in signing our very talented, gifted, fasted, most athletic child up for a rec league. Actually we assume that some of the best collegiate scouting programs will be coming to her t-ball games.

Tonight she had her first "practice." Really do you need practice for t-ball with 4-6 year olds? Doesn't a game consist of 2 innings where everyone hits and stands in the field picking flowers while one kid (usually the coach's kid) chases the ball, throwing to others which begins another chase until 15 minutes later it gets back to the coach to "pitch" to the next kid? And it is an hour and a half! Ahh I am glad that she is going to learn the game - practice hitting when the coach pitches and knows how to throw and get a ground ball. If you didn't know, but Ally has a terrible arm. Her brother has out-thrown her since he was 1. Now he has aim, he can nail me with a cracker from his carseat while watching a movie.

Here are a couple pictures to document the moment! Ally is in the cream sweat shirt. It didn't help that it was pushing 45 degress out today. They cancelled the track meet that Drew and I were going to go to because it was too cold, but not cold enough for the GRIZZLIES!!!


She hit it! But I really think that her eyes are close if you blow up the picture.


Take me out to the ball game!
