Weddingsand we're baaaaaack!!!
a lot has happened since our last post. more on that soon.
today i'd like to introduce everyone to the best 12 and under girls fast pitch softball team in the entire california republic.
i'm talking about san diego's very own POWER SURGE!
they just squared off against, and soundly destroyed, the only teams in cali that had any chance of challenging them for the title. we were lucky enough to be there to capture a sampling of what they do. after the games, we lined em up told them to look fierce. i think they nailed it. i wouldn't want to face this bunch.
from left to right they are...
Coach Fred, Sara, Alicia, Kourtney, Kailey, Ahnalin, Carlee, Erin, Coach Scott, Shelby, Amber, Kaylie, Katie, Katie, Tiana, Rebecca, and Coach Vince
now let's see what they do!
the dust off the glove is just a hint that these girls aren't afraid to get dirty. keep scrolling.
power surge runners on base were a familiar sight.
in fact, this time-out, while waiting for the other team to bring in a relief pitcher, was the only time i saw these girls standing around. the rest of the time they were running...
and running...
and...
scoring runs.
that's all they do. they're like a machine. hey, THAT'S IT!!!
maybe they're softball terminators!
how can i prove it?
i can't.
these girls love dirt...
and being safe at 2nd and third.
wanna see more? check out the slideshow below.
yo. turn up my headphones.
we also want to send a huge THANK YOU out to mike.
mike who?
lauren's dad.
who's lauren?
we're getting to it.
sheesh. what is this, 20 questions? :)
ok ok. the 3 degrees of rain are...
rain was on the sharks with lauren.
lauren is rebecca's sister (and rain's favorite team mate).
lauren and rebecca are mike's daughters.
rebecca is a san diego power surge player.
are we all good? sweet.
being back on the field brought back awesome memories of spring 2008.
some of you might remember these next slideshows of rain's softball team, the sharks, from earlier this year. we had a load of fun documenting rain's first venture into organized sports. along with the shots of rain, we took shots of all the girls and hooked the parents up with disks at the end of the season. we had a ton of images. if you'd like to see the others CLICK HERE.
thanks again for your support everyone. we really do appreciate it, now more than ever.
enjoy the shows!
