Another Saturday spent at the park. And tomorrow, another Sunday. I just hope that this weekend proves to be a successful one and the Wolves win!
Today was a tough day. Our first game ended in a tie, 0-0. Natalie is struggling with her batting, but every now and again, a bright spot will happen and she'll get a nice hit and be on base. We've seen her go through this for awhile now, and she believes that she's done with it. It is time to be the "big hitter" that everyone tells her she is.
She pitched the second game, and did ok. Walking 3 batters is not her usual style, and she probably threw more "balls" than she's thrown in awhile. Although, the umpires' strike zone seemed to be the size of a quarter, even her coach couldn't believe the calls that were being made. We were pretty sure that the home plate umpire was related to someone on the other team. Crazy stuff!
But you know, a day at the park in this beautiful weather is never wasted. Bright, sunny and endless blue skies. Just doesn't get any better than this.
I keep taking pictures of the girls warming up, but since I am usually keeping score, it's a little difficult to get the camera out during the game. I'll get the ones I have posted to the site, soon, I promise.
I forgot to write about our Thanksgiving trip to Flagstaff. We went for a day trip and took the dogs, who are getting better at riding in the car. Because we had them with us, we weren't able to check out to many places, but those we did were pretty cool.
It's only about 2 ½ hours from here, and on the road there the signs to Sedona said 15 miles. So we took a detour on the way home and stopped by.
Sedona has changed so much, mainly in size. The road is being torn up, so the traffic going into town was pretty bad. Some things we recognized from our trip there on our Honeymoon, and we stopped in at the hotel we stayed at, Los Abrigados. We even went into the little shopping square there, T'Laquepaque (don't even ask me how to pronounce that!), and got a picture of Natalie by this sign that we had seen during our honeymoon. If Natalie had been born a boy, we would have named him Esteban, all because of that sign. I'll put that picture up later too.
We were surprised at how close Sedona is from home, and plan to take a trip back – Just Bob & I this time!
OK, better get back to the things I've got to get done. And then prepare for tomorrow and another day at the park!
