the cubs have a saying.....

The Chicago Cubs have a saying - wait 'til next year. That's what Meg and Sara will be doing when it comes to softball. The tournaments officially ended for us Saturday evening at about 6:00. We started the day off Saturday thinking that we'd have games at 9:00, 12:00, 4:30 and (possibly) 6:00. We ended up with just 2 games at 9:00 and 4:40.

Meg's game ended in a tie, and we went to the tie-breaker rule. We lost 9-8, mainly due to some questionable "hustle" in the outfield. However, we didn't hit all that well, either. Meg's team went undefeated last year, but she said she had more fun this year.

For some reason, Sara's team just went dead for the tournament. We were in both games for only the first innings, and that was it. The head coach was out, so I assumed his duties. (Nothing like losing on a interim basis, huh?) It's hard to win a game when your team strikes out looking FIVE TIMES. In all fairness, it was miserably hot Saturday, and the girls were feeling it in a big way.

I told a couple of the dads on the way to the car Saturday that all the softball equipment will be taken out of my car and replaced with my golf clubs. I hope to be able to play a little more over the next couple of months.

We came home after the first service yesterday morning. The girls were practically zombies, so we figured they could use the rest. Of course, the bride and I set a good example by showing them how to properly rest. We spent a couple of hours at the pool late in the afternoon. Then after supper, we started prepping Sara's room to be painted this week.

Here's to the rest of the summer......
