When it came time for Synnove to sign up for softball again this year, she was hot and cold. I was really hoping that I wasn't going to have to beg her to sign up again. Fortunately, her friends got her excited about it and it wasn't a fight. This is only our 2nd year in being involved with Knappa Summer Recreation, and I'm not too impressed. Parents and coaches spend a good 3-4 months trying to trace the rabbit trail of poor communication. The weather is a big factor for any sport played on the coast. And, as usual, we spent the first two months playing the cancel/reschedule game. We were only able to have a small handful of practices before games started, and because of the weather, sometimes the girls didn't play for a week or more. There were only 9 girls on our team, so there were times when we only had 5 or 6 girls on the field!

| There were 2 Knappa girls teams, so we tried to scrimmage once a week in the first month. |

| Synnove started the season fairly strong and was able to get on base at virtually every game. Her no-hit streak started in her last two weeks of playing. 3 games and no hits. She doesn't like playing in games, as she gets pretty nervous. She always had a big crowd of her own fans :) |

| Little Miss Evelyn was by far Synnove's biggest fan. My sweet sister made it to all but two games (one because I didn't tell her about it)! |
The last game was last Thursday and the coach bought each of the girls an engraved trophy. Synnove was sooo excited for that. I really enjoy watching Synnove play and I hope she will want to play again next year. Even Soren will be able to play!
