Softball

This was Rylie's first year of coach pitch softball.  She played one year of t-ball and was finally old enough for softball.  The age group for her team was 8-10 years.  She is still 7, so she was the youngest on her team.  Most of the girls had softball experience so her first game I was a little nervous.  I cannot believe how well she did.  She was very timid her first game but she hit the ball and got on base every time.

Her Aunt Cassie played high school softball and after graduating was a coach, so she came over to our house one day and gave Rylie a lot of tips and help.  After that Rylie did amazing at her games.  She really started to love softball and was really sad when it was over.

This was Brynlie's first year in t-ball and she was on a team with her cousin Seth.  She told us that she thought it was boring.  I guess it was too much standing around and waiting.  She loves to move and run.  She did really good at hitting the ball and waving at us whenever she had the chance.  We had to take her on many potty breaks in the middle of games.  She would just run off the field at any time for a drink.

Porter got these pictures of her goofing off and dancing around when it was her teams turn outfield.  She would tell me that Seth would always tell her to pay attention.  She'll probably play again next year but it got me wondering if maybe soccer would be a better sport for her.
