Kayla came in from Tuscaloosa on Friday. We didn't have time for much though...our evening together consisted of dinner @ the Mexican restaurant together & a trip to the grocery store (for ballgame supplies!).
(typepad and I are having issues right now---I have over 600 pics from the weekend...but I am unable to post them---they will be forthcoming later!)
Kayla, Abbey and myself got up bright and early and headed to Cullman. It had rained during the night (@ Cullman)...so the weather was nice and cool. We played two games (Birmingham Mustangs & Bases Loaded Bombers) before lunch. During the afternoon break...Joe (who drove up after he got off work) & I headed to the hotel to check in...I decided that I was going to change clothes & I got nice and comfy in a pair of sweats and a long sleeve t-shirt. We went back to the ballpark...and watched the Vipers win AGAIN...this time it was against the Shoal Shockers! We played a total of 4 games on Saturday---and we only lost the last one, against the North Alabama Explosion, ...by one stinkin point!
We got up bright and early on Sunday morning & back to the ballpark we went. Our first game of the day was against the Bay City Bombers from Mobile. Their parents were so rude---so it was quite nice that we shut them down! We then had to face the Frost Falcons from Chattanooga. They were tough...and ended up beating us by a couple of points. Our next team was the Huntsville Comets. This was one of those run-away games. Abbey batted twice in one inning! Our final score was like 15-1.
We were headed to the championship---against the Frost Falcons. It was intense for the first couple of innings. 0-0 first inning, 0-2 the second inning...and then we did our thing----we WON the championship 9-2! The girls (ok, the parents too!) were so EXCITED!!!!! We left Cullman---VERY happy!
After Abbey's bath last night...she enjoyed a nice backrub! I don't think she moved in the bed at all!!! Now back to work and school-reality check!
WOOHOO!!!! Congrats to Abbey and her team!!!!
