Well, softball season is officially over for both girls. Amanda had a great season, but her team got knocked out of the play-offs in the first round. Sam also had a great year, and her team ended up winning the division championship! Yeah! She was very excited! She had a great year and was even invited to try-out for the all-star team. Unfortunately, the try outs for all-star and many of the tournament games are on Sundays. We did all we could to try and get around it. But, unlike a "Children's Friend" experience they did not change try-outs for us, or tell her she could play, even if she couldn't make it to the Sunday games. Oh well, as I had to explain to Shaun (over and over!) some of the lessons we have to teach our children, are more important that 9 year old girl softball all-star teams! He eventually came around, (honestly, I think he was more excited about her playing than she was!) and was happy with the decision we made. Our family has really enjoyed the season this year and look forward to many more in the years to come! 
The official signing of the jerseys. A softball tradition.
A shot of Sam's team and the runner-up team!

Congratulations Sammy! Don't worry about the All-Star game, they're just another way for big business to make money off the blood, sweat, & tears of the blue collar workers anyway. Viva La Revolucion!
Yeah for SAMMY! How fun for her to enjoy and game so much and then to win the championships! That'a awesome! And good for you for sticking to your values! It's not always easy to have to make those decissions.
Yeah girls! I am so proud of them and all their accomplishments. If only I could be around them more to tell them!
