Gracie's first softball 'game'

When you live in Canada, mid May is far from desirable softball weather. Tonight was supposed to be Gracie's first game, but the temperature at game time was 50 at the most and the location of the field led to insanely high winds, making it feel much colder. So the two coaches decided to let each kid bat once and then call it. I think all involved were grateful. I know I was.

Gracie's team hit first. She was the third batter and hit the ball on the first pitch for a single!


Here she is on first base. Don't ya love her pink batting helmet? :)

She came all the way around to score on the next batters and then her team took the field while the other team each got to hit. She is playing a 'learn to play' program, so it's very laid back. And you gotta love the Canadian softball uniform of the softball t-shirt OVER the jacket. ;)
