The first day of events was a big kick off. Lucky for us, it was the hottest day of the year so far with a heat index of over 100 (please note my sarcasm). It was pure torture. Although we didn't need a hotel the coaches thought it would be fun for the girls to all stay at a hotel and we could have a team party that night and swim. So we checked in to the hotel around 1pm then headed to the fields for team photos around 2:30. The girls (and Reed) goofed off until it was time for their photos.
After seeing lightening in the area, they made everyone go inside where we were able to get a big group shot of all of our Floyd Knobs teams that were competing this weekend as well. It's pretty amazing that we have 3 teams that made it this far, 1 in each division from 8U up to 12U.
After that was a big parade from the school to the track where each team was introduced and they did a short welcoming speech which included University of Louisville's head softball coach Sandy Pearsall. It was so hot most everyone left the stands after the girls walked through and stood under the bleachers in the shade.
When the speeches were finished the girls headed to the fields to participate in some optional fun events. There was a running event, a throwing event from home to second, a hitting event and a pitching event. Millie chose to do the running event with a few of her other team mates.
She didn't win but one of her team mates did. It was a long hot day but the girls enjoyed it and really enjoyed the swimming and pizza party that night in the hotel. I'm glad mom came and stayed with us because she sure helped entertain Reed.
