After a long season of sports, we finally finished up for the summer! The girls had great seasons in all the sports they played and learned a lot about them along the way!
Our focused little first baseman.
Check out our first baseman (#4) and her position in this picture. It didn't matter where the ball was hit on the field, Jillian would run to go get it!
Her turn to bat
Celebrating a good end to the Pirates' season
And celebrating with coach! Jillian was so excited to get her first ever trophy AND a medal!
After finishing up t-ball, Meredith had a volleyball double header and a softball game!
This girl came so far in her serving this year! We are so proud (and she is too!)
The Cardinals played in the championship game. The girls were a little nervous because they were playing a team that "practiced three times a week!" and that team never lost! But we told them to just have fun. The girls ended up keeping the score very, very close, but lost by a little. Either way, everyone was happy with 2nd Place!
Meredith got to try out catcher in the championship game.
Showing off her 2nd place trophy
Silly girl - practicing in case she ends up in the Olympics one day!
Early in June, we also had the girls in swimming lessons. Meredith was wanting to improve her strokes and I was hoping to just up her confidence in the water. Jillian ended last summer swimming like a fish, but still had a lot of technique to go. As we went into the first week, I was expecting excited swimmers. Instead Jillian cried and cried and refused to do what the teacher asked! I was shocked (but Jillian shouldn't really shock me anymore!) After 2 days, Jillian warmed up to the idea of going under again - and since then, she is amazing! I can't even believe she is the same kid!
Both of my little swimmers - ready for lots of pool time!
