Ok, I know I said before that Drew was done with softball for the year, but that's ended up being untrue. She plays first base and is one of the best players on her team, so after she sat out of one game, Andy bought a very, very light-weight bat, took her out in the backyard, and decided that she would be fine, and she has been. She had to wrap the cast everytime to protect the other girls from getting hit with it, which made no sense to me since there are flying balls throughout each game, but we complied and she's has done great. She's an amazing ball player, I must say. The team ended up taking 2nd place in the whole county, which was a pretty great accomplishment since last year this very same group of girls didn't win a game! After the last game the parks and leisure people handed out trophies for the first place and runner-up teams, so that was very exciting for everyone. Here are a few pictures of her playing in one of the last games (after she got her cast off and decided the brace was too binding to play ball in!) and one of the whole team with their trophies. Drew is in there in the middle sort of under the trophy. You can see her eyes, and she's not really smiling in that one. 
At the very beginning of the game -- you can still see the marks on the field where the dirt has been smoothed.
Getting a player out!
Getting another player out!
Getting ready to hit!
Ready to run to third base!
Crossing home plate!
The whole team!

Their uniforms are way cooler than ours ever were! She looks like such a pro.
