Softball Season has Arrived!

Softball season kicked off with the first game on Friday followed be another game Saturday morning. I am not sure who was more excited in our family. Of course, Mary Grace couldn't wait to get on the field and play softball with all of her friends. Now that she is a little bigger, she really understands the game and enjoys it more now that she can hit well, run fast, and field most balls that come her way. Jason was excited to get back in the swing of our favorite spring sport... he loves coaching ball, especially since he gets to coach with Chris, and has so much fun teaching all of the girls the fundamentals of the game. Carolyne was looking forward to all of the wonderful snacks that she gets only at the ballpark... sunflower seeds, roasted peanuts, and ring pops. And, I was excited to be out in the fresh air with family and friends watching my little girl play ball. I just love this time of year!

Both games went really well! For the Friday game, MG played short stop. Her friend, Carleigh, played pitcher. Now that they are the oldest, it was great to see them playing big positions. On Saturday, MG played pitcher and a little bit at first base. She is so excited that she is getting the chance to play in a few different spots. She had two great hits on Saturday! She was really happy to see her cousin Kailey score her first run ever. Kailey is a great hitter and, over the course of last season, made it to base several times. Unfortunately, it was usually after the third out. On Saturday she got a great hit and was so excited to cross home plate to score a run for her team! We are looking forward to many more exciting games this season!
