@mrsbozz and I got up at 4:30 AM this morning to drive down to Columbus, Ohio to watch out nieces play softball in a couple of tournaments. Pool play for our younger niece doesn't start until tomorrow.
We did get to catch some of the pool games that our older niece played in today. They played three games in total today finishing with a record of 2 and 1. They have one more pool game tomorrow before they start bracket play.
It was extremely hot out today with temps in the mid nineties. There was a nice breeze blowing that helped a little and we have started travelling with our pop up shade canopy when we go to events like this.
The big tournament this weekend is held at Berliner park just South of downtown Columbus. The complex is huge as you can see by the map with over thirty total fields for games to be played on. Parking cost $5 per carload which really isn't that bad. The view from the park of Columbus skyline is pretty cool.
In all it was a pretty great day. Tomorrow will be much more hectic with us bouncing back and forth between two separate locations and games being staggered all through the day. Since we saw our older niece play today, we will be sure to focus on watching our younger niece play tomorrow.
Here are some more photos I took from today....
I am always impressed by the heart these girls bring to the field. It is a true joy to watch them play.

I don't think softball gets played in the UK much, but some baseball teams came over for some games recently. Of course cricket is much bigger here, but kids can have fun with any sport. Looks like a nice day out, even with that early start.

It is a pretty big deal over here. Lots of competitive young ladies at all levels of play. I think they are even starting some girls baseball leagues over here... It is another early morning today!

I am doing my best to drink a ton of water. So far they split. Older niece lost, younger niece won.
