Softballs and Gowns

Ericka's softball team at school was without a coach.  It was time for practice to start and they still had no one.  Somehow, Lyn got talked into coaching this year....Ericka's senior year, was the ploy used.  He really did enjoy it once he was working with the girls.  It was a big commitment for a busy man.....3 times a week and 4 hrs a night or more if it was an away game.  I think Lyn will be able to look back and say he was glad he did it, but he was sure glad to have it over!

Ericka was the lead off batter

She played center field 

This is the 3 seniors with the 2 coaches

The "little" 9th grade boys, Dwight & his friend Ryan, that Ericka brought home from games/practices.  They had the same game schedule.

It's always a big event the night of the jr/sr banquet.  The senior parents are invited for the first hour and a light snack.  After that, most of the parents went out to eat together and watched a video of the seniors.

Ericka & her dad

These 4 lovely girls went together and squished into this old Mercedes Benz (which belonged to a grandparent.)  It didn't really have a normal back seat so they weren't all buckled.  They were supposed to stay on the back roads only and take a different car if they went elsewhere, but these 18 yr. olds didn't listen to their parents and "went out on the town" afterwards.  They said they didn't think we were serious! Thankful God kept them safe and thankful they didn't get pulled over!
