Spring Means Softball ~Anabelle & Elise's Team~

 Anabelle &Elise were on the Blue Jays this year.  There was problems with their original coach (not coaching), so the director said, "Adios".  Wouldn't you know it...that very same afternoon the director asked a very nice dad if he would "help" the team.  Well, in a nutshell, that "helper" ended up replacing the head coach with ZERO experience coaching softball.  So, their new head coach was my "I don't like sports" husband :0). 
 As soon as he took over, the Blue Jays because excited about the game and a real team.  Elise's favorite position is 2nd base.  She made some awesome plays and caught quite a few line drives.
 Anabelle's favorite position was short stop which meant LOTS of balls came to her and she had to communicate with her sister without yelling at her.  Anabelle has a fabulous arm and made some great throws to first.  She was also one of the teams biggest cheerleaders as you can see her here in the dugout while taking a rest.
 Here's Elise up to bat. 
 And Anabelle.  Their stances are as different as their personalities are.
 Here's poor Sadie on a 95 degree afternoon watching her sisters play because she was too hot to play with the other teams siblings. 
 After many ups & downs, the girls won their second playoff game!!!!!!!  They were in the runnings for the championship.  This was something no one thought would be possible!  Here's Anabelle w/ her coach :0).
 Elise wanted a home run all year.  She had some powerful hits, but hey, it's hard to hit a 60+ mph ball!!!  After an INCREDIBLE blowout championship game, they WON! 
 Happy sisters with their trophies.
 Happy Coaches!
Happy Team!!  Congrats Blue Jays!
