Batter up!!!!

Elaine has been loving coaching Mara's softball team. This is Mara's first year playing softball, but Elaine is quite the expert. She likes it even more now that she found a parent who pitches for them. That was one skill she lost over the years. She lets the girls pick which position they play (for at least one inning). Mara just doesn't like outfield.

Mara came up to bat with the bases loaded... She swings hard...

but it's a little early. (The softball is the yellow right over home plate.)

Mara made a great catch when she was playing 3rd base. It was the first game they won this season and they crushed the other team (My boss's daughter plays on the other team.)

Ashlee and Ben had fun during the game too. Ben is enjoying his T-ball, but doesn't like playing outfied either.
