Play Ball!

It's that time of year when this blog and our lives are dominated by diamonds...ball diamonds. Wether it's baseball or softball, it's all we do. This weekend was opening day and both critters had games. We were lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it, to play at 9am and 10:30. Millie and Reed's games were back to back, that was good. But it was about 40 degrees that morning, that was bad. 40 degrees felt warm compared to her scrimmage game the night before, that was miserable. It was damp, about 40 degrees or less with about 30 mph wind.

 

But this post is about the rec league so lets focus on that, we'll get to Millie's travel league later. Millie's game was at 9am and she plays peewee with 7 and 8 year olds. She is on the Reds and her coaches are Rick and Rick's boss who also coach her travel team. Millie's rec team seems to be pretty strong and they won 14-4 I think it was. They do have the first and second draft pick on the team so they should be pretty strong. We will see how the rest of the season goes. 

Reed played at 10:30 and he is a Giant. They don't keep score in his league but Reed did great. He got on base every time and had great hits. They never had to bring out the "T" of shame to hit off of. I don't call it that around the kids but we all know the truth, that's what it is. Reed fielded the ball great and he made several outs at first. 

The critters couldn't wait for the season to start and neither could I. Now we just need some warm weather to go with it.
