Another field trip and a first baseball game

Today Nicole's class joined other second graders from Lincoln County at Cathedral Gorge, a nearby state park. It was windy and chilly (see the picture below of the kids huddling together for warmth) but they enjoyed exploring the cathedral-like spires of clay and the cave-like structures formed by them.


If a field trip wasn't exciting enough, Nicole's baseball team had its first game this afternoon. She originally started out on a girls' softball team and then moved to a machine-pitch baseball team. Standing at home plate while a machine throws a ball towards you has been intimidating for Nicole but she's happy to be around her friends and field the ball when she can. She has a good coach who is very patient. Games are every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for the month of May so we can't promise this will be the last talk of Nicole and baseball. The first picture below is of Nicole in left field.

We'll keep you posted.

That park is amazing! Such beautiful sights in your neck of the woods.

Hope baseball goes well. We had a softball game tonight too (we lost). And we're the same colors as Nicole's team too. You go, girl!
