Opening Day 2008!

Today was opening day for my softball team. I'm coaching 7 & 8 year old girls again. Four of the girls I have this year were on my team last year. It's so fun!

We had our first game today after the opening day ceremonies, which were kicked off with all the kids in the girls & boys leagues parading 2 miles to the fields. The girls were amazing - they all hit the ball well and made good plays in the field. And of course....they HAD FUN!!!


Kyle (my Godson) is like an assistant coach this year. He's so good with them, helping and cheering them on. He's getting so big. He's 13 and in the past year has sprouted up considerably!

The girls named themselves "Blue Thunder". Go blue!!

Let me tell you....these girls can hit!!! I stopped by and watched a little bit of the game and it was a lot of fun. All the girls LOVE Valerie!!! Also, if I ever had to choose a coach for my daughter, it would be Valerie. She does a great job of teaching the girls to have fun while they play. Good times!

Terrific Valerie. I'm just looking at this post now a month late but I'm proud of you.

Much love,
Aunt Linda
