Softball Opening Day 2010....

And now...meet (most of) the "Hornets"!!! This is Kayli's softball team! This past Saturday was Opening Day for softball! Baseball AND softball season is officially underway and we couldn't be more excited....or exhausted!!!

Opening day begins with an early morning parade through SW Decatur. Since it is a pretty long way from the fields, the girls get to pile in the back of trucks, which are fully decked out with streamers and signs and balloons. You can imagine how much fun they have decorating! Here is Kayli on her way to do some damage...

And here they are showing some "Hornet Pride" on thier way to the field....

After the parade, all of the teams gather on the field to kick off the season. The first pitch was thrown by Molly Moses, a teenage girl who lost her leg (and almost her life) in a boating accident last year. I didn't get any pictures but I wanted to mention that because I admire her courage.

Here is a picture of Kayli and her best friend, Ashlyn.

And of course, my camera battery went dead after this so I have NO pictures of the first game but Kayli did great! Fast pitch is hard for this age because the girls are getting used to pitching. Needless to say, there were A LOT of walks! We lost our game but they all did great and we will for sure be ready next time!

GO HORNETS!!!!
