The (in)famous softball tourney

Our ward put together a team at the last minute (literally) to compete against 25 or so teams (I did the math I swear) in a multi-stake women's softball tounament.....we didn't expect to play past day 1 but made it all the way to the finals....we came in 4th. We played without a full team the second and third nights...like I said we didn't really think we would be back, but we had a GREAT time!!!  
Team day 1
That ball really is on the concrete... the first team we played was a real confidence shaker
WHAT IS GOING TO WORK?...TEAM WORK... (just don't touch each other)....
Team day 3.
We played the last game with sprinklers on in the outfield (not to mention the stickerbushes in the midfield...). It is hard to concentrate on catching the ball when you are being pummled with random strokes of water. 
 
The kids loved it though... and Luc was our ball boy (for better or worse). The best part for me was having my kids cheer me on. Luc still thinks that all softball is played by me ('mommy's baseball game' just like all soccer is played by his cousin Austen 'Austen soccer game')....
 It is all summed up with this picture of Lisa, Marnie and BENGAY ...need I say more? 
(Day 2-Samuel kept asking ' what is that smell' but Eliza' has decided that she 'loves that smell'! go figure...)
