Just a week ago it was over 80 degrees out, I was wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top, and the boys were playing with water outside. We had the parasol up and were outside playing until seven, and the only reason we went inside was, that it was the boys' bedtime. It was great!
Today....well....I woke up, rolled up my curtains, and it's all white out. My friends response to this "WELCOME TO MAINE!"
Monday were try outs for softball. It was -100 degrees (approximately) and it was blowing half a pelican, it was freezing! People showed up in shorts and t-shirts, so who ever had an extra jacket or hoodie had to hand it over, so we all could at least try to sty warm. We did some running and catching and throwing, but out hands were so cold we could really do anything, cause the ball just fell out of our gloves. So the coaches let us go early.
Yesterday, they moved practice inside -thank god-, so it wasn't until 7. Again we did some running, catching, throwing, and then they split us up in three groups. Varsity -which are the more advanced players-, Freshmen, and the rest. They send Varsity in the field, Freshmen in the back to hit the "T's", and the rest of us got to do live batting. It was a lot of fun. I kept telling people to hit before me, so I could see what they were doing, but of cause that couldn't go on forever, so I finally got a helmet on, and Morgan handed me a bat. The coach stepped over to me, gave me instructions on how to bat, and they the pitcher threw a ball at me. The first one I missed, but the second one went all to the other end of the room! I don't think anyone was expecting that - I definitely wasn't-, and they were all just kinda staring at the ball. I did that a couple of times, and the other girls started cheering for me, it was pretty cool!
