We made it through last week. Somehow. Weekly recap: 4 baseball games, 2 baseball practices, 3 track practices, 1 track meet, 1 horseback riding lesson, 1 church activity, 2 softball practices, 1 field trip, 2 play dates, and 1 baseball fundraising dinner. Unfortunately, the weather has not always cooperated with all the activities this week. Baseball games were played in the rain and it poured for CC's track meeting.
Since this was CC's first track meet, I'll give it a little more attention. Each meet, they get choose which events to participate in. They just have to sign up in advance. For this event, she chose to participate in the long jump and javelin. Javelin was supposed to take place in the first half of the meet and long jump in the second half. Somehow, however, they ended up calling for all long jumpers early in the meet. While she was getting checked in and waiting to jump, they called for javelin. She ended up just staying put and completing the long jump. Once she was finished, I told her I would walk her over to check and see if she could still do javelin, but it was pouring and she was freezing. She decided she would rather just check out with her coach and head home, so that's what we did. It was a tough first meet, but she said she still had fun. Hopefully, next week's meet will be a little better.
As I mentioned, we also had some softball this week. Elsie had her first two softball practices. She has a different team for the most part this year, but so far she is really liking it. She leaves each practice talking about how fun it was. Maybe that is because she has yet to have to practice in the rain. Also this week, she had a field trip to the Youth Music Project, some play dates and park trips. She doesn't realize how crazy the schedule has been, she is just living her best life.
As for Merrick, his games have gone well. His team has a perfect record and they made it past to their two toughest competitions this week unscathed. Merrick is now starting most games (or coming in after a couple of innings) and this week split his time fairly evenly between 1st base and the outfield. It was a bit of a slow start to the season, but he's getting there. He's even getting to be a good a bunter.
This coming week, very little is dropping off the schedule, but we are adding a vaulting lesson and a volleyball clinic. I may have almost cried last night looking at the week ahead. At lease the weather is supposed to cooperate this week, so that's something, right?
