Monster Mash 2009

Boy has it been a busy weekend! Courtney played in the Monster Mash Softball Tourney in Indianapolis Friday-Sunday with her new Indiana Mojo travel team and boy was it FREEZING in Indy! We played at 6:00 and 11:30 p.m. Friday night, 2 and 8 pm on Saturday and our final game on Sunday morning at 11. That late game on Friday was the coldest I think I've been since I was a kid outside playing in the cold and loving it at that time in my life. The girls did a good job for only having practiced together about 3 times before going to this tourney. It by far was good for them to get their "feet wet" before the season starts next spring. I believe we are going to get in a couple indoor tourneys over the winter to get us ready for season play come April. Here are some pictures I managed to get when it wasn't so cold!

Introducing Indiana Mojo Fastpitch
We were officially voted best looking team by several of the umpires. They just loved the colorful hoodies and pink toboggans!!

They all have nicknames which is so cute. In this picture is Kit Kat, Jenna Bug and Corky

Eating at MCL on Saturday between games to celebrate Emily's birthday

So ready for this

A little action out here please

Waiting on the pitch

Ready for the game

This weekend also ended cross country season for Damon. The team went to semi-state on Saturday morning at Brown County and came up short in order to advance to state. We are all so proud of this group of boys and look forward to making a return to semi-state next season. Below are some pictures I got at Regional two weekends ago where we had a 3rd place finish in order to advance to semi-state.

I would also like to congratulate the Lady Vikings Volleyball Team on their Sectional Victory Saturday. We didn't get a chance to see them play due to being out of town for the softball tourney, but will catch them in Regional this Saturday and hopefully be making that trip to state again this year in 2 weeks. Good Luck Lady Vikings!

Until next time......Maria
