Opening Ceremonies

Avery's softball season started last weekend. Friday night we had opening ceremonies and then they played in a tournament all weekend. After the opening ceremonies were over we ran to McD's to get something to eat before her game at 8:00. While we are at "Old McDonald's" (as Avery calls it) we noticed she was not feeling well. When I leaned over to feel her forehead she was burning up. Poor thing had a fever and was sick as could be. So needless to say she missed her first softball game, but by the next morning she was fine. We took her to the game and Saturday and she got to play, but did not get a hit. (They actually pitch to the girls - they get five pitches or 3 strikes - which ever comes first.) Sunday, Avery got a hit and although they tagged her out running to first she ran all the way to 2nd and was so proud of herself. So were Jason and I!! Most of the six year old's on her team have a hard time hitting the ball - we're pretty sure she is going to be a natural! :) After that it was all she wrote - all she talks about is going to play softball and hitting that ball real hard! Here are a few pics of Avery in her uniform, playing ball, and her cute little brother at the ball park!

Avery in her uniform...isn't it too cute!
