Saturdays at the Ball Park

All day Satuday (and most Tuesday and Thursday evenings) are spent at the softball fields. The girls LOVE to play softball. They are a little over a month into this season and have about 6 weeks to go. We LOVE to watch them too! I have a couple of shots, but not too many. I have to get better at taking pictures. However, during A's games I am busy chasing/feeding snacks to M. During R's games, I am busy doing to same with M all the while trying to keep the scorebook for B. He is R's headcoach and I guess he likes the way I keep the book for him. Here A is getting ready in the outfield.


This past Saturday her coach did some switching up. She has been playing 2nd base, but got her hand at catcher and circle girl as well. She liked both of them and did well. She just loves the game and will do whatever her coach asks her to do. I am hoping to get a pic of her in the catcher's gear...she could barely walk, but she said it was fun (although heavy).
R usually plays 3rd base, and spends a LOT of the time kicking up the dirt. She LOVES the dirt. However, don't let her fool you (like she does me almost every game)...she may look like she is not paying attention, but as soon as that ball is hit, she is on the move. She even got a home run on Saturday. She is so cute to watch run the bases.


Here is M trying to stay occupied during one of many hours at the ballfield. I have a feeling she is going to think softball is just a way of life. Bless her! Her shirt says "A...'s and R...'s biggest fan" on the back...so cute.

This past Saturday we finally got to go to one of my nephew's (Ma) game. They all 3 ususally overlap somehow. This past Saturday they were all spread out just enough to spend the day at the park. Here is another nephew, K, helping Grammy keep the scoreboard.
Here is Ma waiting patiently for the batter.
Here he is just as he hit the ball to centerfield. He practically knocked the coach's head off. The coach pitches after the 4th innning...he had to move out of the way so fast that he literally was on the ground. So funny.
Got to 2nd and ready to run.
Here is B (another nephew and Ma's brother) pretending he is crying.
Here is K again, crying...it is such sadness when the game is over and it is time to go home.
Well, this is how we see ourselves spending the next 15 Springs and Falls...if you need us, we will be at the ballfield.
