Softball times!

I really didn't think that in third grade when we painstakingly watched Katy's first year of softball (if you can call girls standing there at home plate waiting for someone to actually pitch a perfect strike to them or they are never going to swing and after the 4 walk rule you have to swing so you may get 20 pitches before you decide to swing softball...) that she would still want to play, but she loved it and it has gotten much better to watch over the years. This year, she was able to be on a team with 2 of her close friends (one of their dads was the coach) and we all had a great time now that we are in the 7-9 grade league. They had a great season, only losing a few games, and at state they won 2 games before they got out of the tournament. It is fun to watch her do her thing at first base. She is very competitive, like her brother, but doesn't get quite so crazed (Jordan has come a long way with his sportsmanship since the early days when we almost banished him from his beloved sports forever!). The thing I love the most about Katy and softball, is that she doesn't sacrifice her girly style! She is never without her sunglasses on the field, her ribbons on her sleeves, and her shirt tied up in the back. Next year I think I will actually spring for some of those cute white pants with a belt that used to look so scrumptious on Jordan. He would never have been caught dead in the grey ones that the city gives you. Katy has never asked me for other pants, but there was a girl on another team with the white pants and she looked so cute that it reminded me of them and now she must have some! Anyway, I digress. Here are some cute pics Cami took of Katy's team on the windiest day of the year. I am surprised any of them turned out in the hurricane winds! Thanks to Cami for her mad photo skills despite adverse weather conditions!
