Happy times with family and extended family MUCH more important than softball.Yep, I agree. As the first one here who said to go on the cruise, I don't want to look back on my DD's childhood as "yep, there was softball, and umm, that softball tourney, and there was some more softball, and there was softball after that, and then she graduated".....I don't want my DD, my family, or myself missing out on any life experience. Yes, softball is most of it, but it shouldn't be all of it.
