Last 2 Softball Games and Party

Well the softball and baseball seasons have come to an end-you would think that would mean a sigh of relief and time for a nice relaxing summer. So not the case around here as next week starts up swim team-with early morning swim practices 4 days a week, and summer ball-with a grueling 20 something games schedule in two months.
Chloe played her last two softball games. The first game she did a phenomenal job with her pitching, the best I have seen her do. She got to pitch two innings during that game. She also got a couple of hits and also got hit by the ball right in her back pretty hard-there is a pretty nice mark there now.
Her last game was kind of rough on her. Her coach told her she was pitching, now all season only Chloe and one other girl have ever really pitched, and they would each pitch like 1 or 2 innings each game, however he ended up changing his mind and letting some other girls who hadn't had a chance to pitch. Which is fine she was just sad cause it was her last game and she really wanted to pitch-she loves it. She also had two at bats-the first one she got a nice hit-an RBI, but the second one she struck out, she doesn't do that very often-so she was really sad. She played 3rd base for part of the game and did really well there, stopping balls that came to her and even getting an out.

Chloe's coach gave the girls each a trophy after their last game-he has been great!
 The day after her last game her coach held a team party. They had a bbq and played water baseball of course. They hit water filled balls, 1st base was an ice cube they had to sit on the whole time they were there, 2nd base was a pool they had to get in, 3rd base was a bucket of water they had to stand it, and of course you had to slide on the slip n slide to get home. It was fun for the kids.
 You can kind of see Chloe sitting on the ice cube in this picture.
 She had a great season and really enjoyed it, so I'm sure she will want to sign up again next year.
