Softball Chick

So we've got this girl who plays softball and we absolutely love watching her play...

...she's having a blast and is learning so much about the game.

It is our girl's habit to march into the batter's box and whack home plate with such force that the dust flies, most of the time she hits the ball that hard too...

...most of the time.

And even though she enjoys batting, Kate  Lauren Kate will tell you that the reason she plays ball is because, 

"I get to play catcher sometimes."

It was while playing catcher last Sunday that Kate got very...

...sweaty and...

...grimy. 

And all of the sweat and dirt and heat and sweat and dirt was worth it because...

...this girl...

...caught a foul ball in the air and made an out.

An official no-kiddin'-looky-there-the-ball-is-in-her-glove OUT. 

For the first time in her softball chick career!

Oh yes she did!!
