We've played much farther away. It's just that until yesterday, we were playing close to home for a change this weekend, so it's a little disappointing. Mostly because of sleep.

Yup, it's close enough you don't want a hotel and far enough to be a pain, especially if you have an 8:00 game. Which is almost a certainty when you really don't want one. Good luck this weekend!

Friendlies in WM's 'hood on Sunday. #1 pitcher got hit in the head with a fly ball lost in the sun last week while playing CF. She's out indefinitely with a concussion. #1 catcher (my kid) is recovering from her second MCL sprain in the last 2 months. She's out for at least another week. #1 CF has been running a fever for the last couple of days, and is questionable for the weekend. Fun, fun...

Conclusive proof that pitchers in CF should be required to wear helmets (sarcasm font)

First game of middle school state championships was supposed to be tomorrow, but got move to Monday due to rain. DS has a soccer game tomorrow morning and DD has a scrimmage on Sunday. Bow season starts tomorrow, so I'll be sitting in the woods at some point this weekend.

LOL - You might have a valid point. This girl was wearing a fielder's mask, and the ball hit just above it. Next time...catcher's helmet!

DD was pitching a few years ago and the throw down to second between innings was a little off and she got hit in the back of the head. Helmet would have saved her! Ducking might have helped too.

Ouch!!!!!!

Busy weekend, and I am out of town picking up a car I left parked in Brooklyn the past year (recent repairs so it runs well now) and some stuff I left when I lived in NYC briefly. Then a short solo 1000 mile drive to Wisconsin.

Today is homecoming day for the kids' HS. DD 2 and 3 are going to the game in separate groups. DD 3's group is about a dozen kids, DD 2's group is almost 40 kids. Several softball players in both groups, even though DD 2 doesn't play softball.

Saturday morning DD 2 and 3 have a cross country meet.
Saturday evening all the kids in DD 3's group go out to eat together before the dance. DD 2's group is so big they are going to two different restaurants. One of the softball players in DD 2's group will miss the festivities for a tournament, but that girl's father occasionally posts on DFP, so he can say what his DD is doing if he wants.
Saturday night DD 3 will stay at the home of her fall ball team's HC's DD, another girl in her group, and get a ride with them to some games on Sunday.

Saturday night DD 1 is visiting from college 5 miles away to help out with everything.

Sunday DD 3 goes to the county south of ours for some league play games.

DS is in a dinky little rowing regatta close to Green Bay on Sunday. Two races, should get gold or silver in both.

Sunday evening I get back home having missed all the excitement. Lucky me.

First tournament with our new TB team. I would consider this one a "warm-up," with a mix of A and B teams. Trying to get ready for Atlanta Fastpitch Classic in two weeks. Only 20 minutes from home, so there's that too!

Where are you playing? We'll be at the Atlanta Fastpitch Classic too, 10U though.
