Memorial Day

Our 10u girls went to a tournament in Clairemont, and went 1win, and 2Loses in pool play, to advance to bracket play. They played the number 1 seed ( Lakeside) in the 1st round, and was winning 1 - 0 until the last inning. Lakeside came back to win 2-1 on a last minute play to advance, and eliminate our 10u team. We learned a lot about stratagies of other teams, and what we need to work on.
"S" had some great catches, and made some good plays. She hit the ball when she was up to bat, but it was always to someone for an out. "We'll get em next time kid."

"S" and I also went riding to the mountains by Lake Morena about an hour outside of San Diego. The weather was perfect 71 degrees, and we found our way to some difficult trails, I wanted to check them out before letting Sydney ride on them, but every time I turned around, she was keeping right up with me. Here are some pictures. The only time I could stop and take pictures, is when the trail was mellow enough that I could pull over. Most the trails were so rocky and windy that these pictures don't do it justice.








Notice Lake Morena in the background. Also you can see what fire has done to the landscape










Looking up at S from half way down. This rock was huge, a couple hundred feet long, and wide, The picture doesn't capture how stepp it was, but it was tricky, and fun.














This picture is about half way down the rock, looking down to our little trail. Negotiating the slopping rock was a new expieriance for the both of us, and S handled it well.
