Anyway, yesterday morning we headed to Lake Nokomis (with a pit stop at Mel-o-Glaze) for a picnic lunch on the beach with Boom, Auntie Yoda, Uncle Craigles, Lucy and Mila. It. Was. HOT!
Later that evening, Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla ended up coming over for dinner and playtime, which included making a "slide" on our basement steps.
Today was Callie's first ever softball game, after having 2 practices earlier this week. I am SO proud of her. The team she joined has been playing together for years and has lots of experience. She had none until her first practice last Tuesday (and time with Chris working on specific skills the past month or so). But she had never played in a competitive sporting event before, not to mention FAST PITCH softball! Her team won both games. She got hit with the ball, got walked, struck out, and got a hit, so her times at bat were varied and good learning opportunities. She spent time in the outfield and at second base. Her teammates and coaches were positive and supportive.
As someone who faked an asthma attack at the start of the 7th grade basketball season so I could quit, I have never been one who handles competitive sports well. Thankfully, Chris THRIVES, and has been a great support and sideline coach for her. The team had a cute team huddle after the two games. I think/hope she'll enjoy the rest of the season. It only goes through September, so it isn't too long if she hates it. Hopefully she won't want to fake an asthma attack to quit. ;)
Have a good week!
