our night with team USA

Wednesday evening two other coaches and I took 12 12-year-old girls to Canton to watch the USA national softball team take on the USA Futures team. And we had an absolute blast! They played a double-header—which didn’t end untill 11:30 p.m. And that was followed by an autograph session on the field. We got home at 1 a.m. but the girls has so much fun. Here are some pics:

I’m still tired from the trip but it was worth it! Go USA!
