Softball and Cross Country. A perfect way to spend a Saturday!!!! Lucy is finally playing on a team that is her own age group. She has been playing up an age group because of lack of teams and because she can.
We all mentioned how much she has grown! She did great!!
Hit that ball!
We left Lucy's game to see Layne run cross country. There weren't many girls on the either team so they ran with the boys. Layne's goal! Beat the boys! These are the only girls running for Deer Park at this meet.
Off they go. Layne mentioned later the boys start off fast.
Lap number one!
This course was difficult for spectators. We just stayed put and waited for her to come around. The third time was the finish!
Here she goes, in third place overall. She beat the boys, all but two of them.
Crossing the finish! Several of the runners talked about how difficult the course was, including Layne. After she finished and looked at her time she said, " I'm not mad about that, it was a hard course with a hard hill."
Gotta check that time. It was exciting seeing her do so good even against all the boys. There were some whispers from the Freeman boys about her getting 3rd place over all. They were impressed.
We didn't go to Lucy's next game but she was a star pitcher. She pitched 3 innings and no one scored.
So happy to be back at sports! Watching the grandkids play is a blessing!
