Well another softball season has passed but this year we had a switch. Emily made the Hyde Park Tournament Team (this is the little league world series division you see on TV). I also made the team as an assistant coach. We made it to the quarter finals, Emily was the winning pitcher in our first game, and made a great catch in the outfield in another game to keep the score tied in extra innings. I am very proud of her.

One of our tournament games was against a much smaller and less talented team then us. As part of good sportsmanship, with the score already 21-0, I told Emily to strike out on purpose, to save face for the other team. These three photos are her trying to strike out, but actually hitting the ball instead. You can see the surprised look on her face when she hits it, then the worried face as she contemplates if she is in trouble for not striking out. It was one of the biggest laughs we had all season.

Above Rachel takes a good rip at a pitch as it hits crosses home plate. Rachel also made the tournament team, however her team lost the first two games to bow out early. Rachel also pitched in the first game and did well, however the defense let her down. In the second game she was the catcher, and had 2 tag outs at home plate. Sure made her dad smile too!

Below is Rachel following in her father's footsteps, by learning how to waterski. This is the very first time she was able to get up. She'll do great next year!
