Chloe played her last softball game (machine pitch) last night. She did pretty great!
(Portie & Bubb on the bleachers-yes he's playing with a plunger. It's a clean one-never been "used." Mario is a plumber. 'Nuff said. Chloe's team getting their field assignments.)
(She played 3rd base the whole game. She did awesome!)
(She batted twice & got on base twice-Great job Chloe!)
(She's the cutest dang runner! She got around all the bases both times)
(She didn't score in this photo. She didn't have a chance-the catcher already had the ball. She did score a run though her next time out.)
(post game cheers, and both teams running the bases)
It was kind of a long season, but really fun! She had her ups and downs-some weeks she'd do really awesome, and others she wouldn't even get on base. So on the good weeks she says "I love softball, I'm going to play it every year! I wish I could play again tomorrow. Maybe I'll play every sport there is: softball, baseball, basketball, what else is there??" etc The bad weeks were "I HATE SOFTBALL, WHY'D YOU MAKE ME PLAY THIS DUMB GAME, I DIDN'T EVEN WANNA PLAY!!! YOU MADE ME!!" etc etc. So that was fun. But it really was fun to watch her. She usually had a couple of practices a week, and improved a lot throughout the summer. She wants to play again next year-so that's good.
On a side note...
Papa Guitar happened to be visiting us for a couple of days, so he got to come to her game. It was fun to have him with us. I think he liked going to her game. She was excited to have him there. After her game, we took the kids over to the playground where this lady kept hittin' on my dad! She kept saying "I can't believe he's their grandpa! He doesn't look old enough to have 7 grandkids. I just can't believe it! I thought these kids were his" Oh man!! It was huh-larious!!!!
