Savannah plays softball

Yes, 5 year old little girls do play softball.  The school, where she will go next year for kindergarten, has different sports and this is softball season.  They usually have a 6 and under team but there weren’t enough girls so she is on a team that’s 8 and under.  There are 3 girls who are 5 on the team.  Tonight she got her first hit and made it to second base before the team got out. 


She was out there on second base doing the potty dance! They got her a runner and she took off for the bathroom faster than she ran to 1st base after her hit!!

Ready in the outfield. Waiting for that ball to come her way!! And playing catcher with coach. 
The way this works…the girls pitch 4 pitches and then the coach comes in to throw to the girls.  They must swing at those pitches.  They get 4 tries.  Savannah isn’t really catching but standing beside the coach who is catching. 
I was really impressed with the coaches out there tonight. It didn’t matter which team they were on, all the coaches told all the girls what great jobs they were doing.
Of course a visit to Virginia isn’t complete without a trip to Brewster’s for ice cream.
