Them girls play hard

Playing Hard...
It started last night (well, early this morning). Knowing that I was going to take the girls to the Women's College World Series tonight, I checked the scores to see who won the day's games and thereby who would be playing tonight. So, at 1:11am, I was astonished to find that THEY WERE STILL PLAYING. Tennesee and Michigan were in the 11th inning of a 0-0 ballgame. Wow. I watched the rest of the game in astonishment. They played hard.

This afternoon Darby had her Piano Guild Audition. First we had to go by her teachers studio for a last run through, then on to the show. I'm please to inform the world that Darby passed her audition and is now a member. She was nervous, but she played hard.

As noted, I took the girls to the WCWS and watched UCLA stomp Michigan 5-0. Sitting in the outfield bleachers, we had a great view of the UCLA left fielder make a leaping, glove-over-the-fence, homerun-robbing catch. I was upset I didn't have my camera at the ready as that would have been a great shot. Anyway, regardless of the score, both teams played quite hard.

Shelby wasn't exactly interested in the game after the first two minutes (I'm being generous). But, then, her idea of playing hard is picking grass, doing situps, and attempting hand-stands instead of watching the game. So maybe she didn't play hard, so much as she played hard.
