This Spring Anna began her softball season. It began sometime around the first of May. She played in a young girls league for ages 7-9. This team was the wildcats. She has played in this league for several years now, and has grown to love the sport. When that season was over, she joined a bigger girls league that was just beginning. These girls were from 10-14. Well, Anna is only 9, so to say I was a little apprehensive is putting it mildly. Some of these girls are going into the 8th grade and they are terrific ball players. They can throw hard, hit hard, and are very aggressive. Well, Anna was not to be outdone. She got right in there and began to learn from them. The speed on the pitching machine is faster in this league, but by the end of the season, Anna was hitting the ball pretty consistantly. I am so proud of the improvements she has shown. This older girls league was a wonderful learning opportunity for her. Brian helped coach the team, and did a fabulous job might I add. Anna's team, 2 Extreme, finished in 1st place for the season, and 2nd place in the tournament. Now that softball season is over, I don't know what we'll do several nights a week. Oh, that's right, Brian's back to football. Well, i am sure the kids and I will find something to fill in our time.
