It's all worth it!

DD's first college game-albeit a fall game. Started in left field- this is her first at bat(single through the left side of the infield!)

Camera was shaking- I was far more nervous than she was

Looks like she may have forgot to run!

I have about 10000 pictures with the same problem. The problem was solved - by me getting an image stabilized lens .

Thats probably a very good idea. I love the pictures you posted here - and you will be doing like me - looking at them a lot of times over the next several years. I am only 2 years past my first college dd's first at-bats, first steal attempts ( she was 0-3 on her first day of attempts - after having gone like 35-36 or so her senior year of high school and travel). After her third time of being thrown out - her coach was having her steal as soon as she was on base. She said 'Dad, this isnt ...' I finished ' Kansas anymore, welcome to D1 from these big girls - you aint the big dog anymore.' I have two favorite pics, both taken on the same day - one where she got on base, and scored the winning run against a very tough school - and then later in the same game ,one I took when she committed an 'espn error of the day' - where the commentators showed her error over and over and over. Of course, her uncles and I still do that to her at every opportunity.

DonnieS thanks for the kind words. I am really looking forward to the upcoming season DD was put in Centerfield for game 2 of the day(as a freshman) Nice to hear people nearby "Who is that girl??" "Some freshman the Coach really likes"


Makes all those long trips worth it!!!
