Softball in the springtime

My niece, Noa, started playing softball this year so on a rather breezy day, Sean and I made the drive to Connecticut to watch her practice. Yes, you read that right, haha. I guess you can call us super aunt and uncle. It was really awesome to watch her with her teammates and see her practice her newfound skills on the field. At one point, both of her hands were covered in dirt and she ran over to me with a big grin and said, “Let’s get dirty!” I laughed and told her to get those dirty hands away from me but I’ll never forget the moment.

My nephew spent most of his time in his stroller napping while his sister practiced.
But when he woke up he was more than thrilled to show me his beloved toy.

And then the following weekend, we traveled to upstate NY to watch my other niece, Nadiyah, play softball. She had an actual game but I only took pictures of her during their practice. Her team won and it was so much fun to watch my niece in her zone and cheer her on. She has always been very athletic and loves playing sports.

I have to say I’m looking forward to watching more games in the near future.
I hear there’s going to be quite a few in the coming months. I say, let the games begin!
