Some Other Beginning's End

I know this will be devastating news for you, but Cindy's softball season is officially done.  And it was awesome.  Our coach sent out a text with some final stats for us....

Official record: 13-0
Unofficial record: 17-1  (tournament/visitor games included)
Next closest team was 6 games back
Average winning score was 15 to 6
Scored 34 more runs than the second place team
Allowed 55 less runs than the second place team

WOWZERS!  I guess we kinda dominated just a little....

As for Cindy, her official stats were:

Not a bad season for a kid who just started playing :)  She finished 5th overall for her batting average and tied for second place for fewest strikeouts.  I can safely say that softball was a huge success- not just because the team did well, but because the team had a lot of friendly girls, the coaches were phenomenal and  Cindy only complained a few times about having a game or practice.  Not sure what the future holds for Cindy and softball, but for now, I am simply enjoying the ride.

Friday night the club held closing ceremonies for the league.  They gave out trophies and had some bounce houses and a dunk tank.  Both my children fulfilled lifelong dreams by getting to throw a ball at a person in a dunk tank in real life.  The highlight of Cindy's experience was taking three throws to dunk Coach Jeff, of which she missed twice and the third throw went over the dunk tank and the fence behind it.  Yep, she plays softball.

Luke waited for about 40 minutes for this.  I hope it was everything he dreamed it would be.

World Champion THUNDER!

Gotta give props to Luke who was a trooper for the whole season.  He went to every game, most practices and, for the most part, was pleasant and fun.  He's really going to miss the other little boys he made friends with at the ballpark.  But mostly he will miss the hamburgers. And blow pops.  Until we meet again, snack bar!

P.S.  Cindy was not selected for the All-Star team, but I am very proud of her for being the only girl who went to both try-outs.  She kept up with every single girl out there and even did both practices while being sick.  Cindy didn't even complain when they were timed on running the bases. Truth be told, I am relieved she didn't make it.  I need a break :)
