Danielle's Busy Day

Danielle's baton group performed at a celebration in our little town this morning. They wore new uniforms and performed a new routine. They looked so cute and did a great job. They are performing at the school's variety show next Friday and will be marching in our Memorial Day parade the following Monday. I love watching her twirl and am looking forward to a couple more performances before they break for the summer.

Tonight was Danielle's first softball game. She moved up to coach pitch softball this year. It's kind of rough because she's now one of the youngest in this age group, which can include kids as old as 3rd grade. We have a lot of young girls like Danielle on our team. Tonight we played a team of mostly older girls who have all played together for at least 2 years. It wasn't pretty, but Danielle had fun. And she looks adorable in her uniform. She played 2nd base for the 1st 2 innings and did a great job! She played catcher for the 3rd inning and admitted to me later that she HATED it. She clacked when she walked and could barely see out of the mask. I thought it was funny. She was a good sport, though, and tried her best. She played in the outfield for the 4th inning. We didn't have to play out the rest of the innings because we were so far behind! I found the perfect job to keep Tyler occupied this season. That should make the games much more bearable (for me). Goodness, is he restless during the game!
