last march weekend

What a busy weekend. Friday, "A" had a game, and got two hits, played catcher, but did not get a chance to pitch.
Saturday, "A" and "K" drove to Huntington Beach for a tournament for "A" travel team. They went 2 for 3.

"S"'s team lost to a Teara Canyon team. She hit the ball twice, but was thrown out at first. She pitched, and struck a girl out, and threw out two others. " Good defense Kid!"
"S" went over to a friends, and they had a sleepover. Dad went to a Surprise party for a friend.
Sunday, Dad Went Golfing! It has been about 8 months since I golfed. I shot a 90 at Easlake. Not bad! Most important was that I had a good time, and was smiling the whole time Brad, John, and Robert kept me laughing, the entire round. They are very good friends, and they have a positive out look. Thanks guys! For those keeping track, John didn't hit into the group ahead of us..
"A" 's team made it to the semi-finals on Sunday, and lost 1-0. They came home very tired. I picked up "S" and we cleaned the garage, and she did homework. The dog hurt her paw playing with another dog.

Spirit week

"A" had spirit week at her school. her and some friends dressed like super heros, one day, and her she is, as Wonderwomen.
















Sasha was unconcerned about how anyone looked last week, and she was in dog heaven with her mostly empty jar of peanut butter.

Mom is in town

My Mom is in town, and she brought along a good friend of hers. We picked them up from the airport, and went home, unpacked, and went to the beach. The weather is perfect, around 69 deg. "S" and I went to the airport While "K" and "A" were at their tournament.














The beach was Del Mar, it is also a dog beach, but we did not bring our pooch. Maybe next time.












Today they took my truck, and went to Horton plaza, which is downtown.

more softball

We had two tournaments since i have talked to you last. Amber is slowly making progress. Her fielding is looking good, and her base running is looking good (besides the only time she got on base this weekend, she was thrown out stealing second, after hesitating between bases, the coach was tryng to call her back)
Amber was having a tough time making contact with the ball. She tends to swing under it. She hit the ball 3 times this past weekend, but poped it up 2 times, and lined out the other.
The next step is to hit it straight in a line shot.
She also got a chance to play an infield position ( 2nd base) for two innings. That shows us that the coach has confidence in her fielding, and startagy playing.
The last two tournaments their team went 3-0, and 3-0. La Habra, and Mission Viejo.
Here is a picture of her playing 2nd.
