Albuquerque Adrenaline

Softball Softball Softball! Every other weekend that is what flies through my head. Its amazing how many mental things are involved with the sport! Swing, catch, throw, bunt, dive...etc. This last weekend we played 7 games from Friday to Sunday. Sunday we played at noon and were melting! At a whopping 100 degrees the sand beneath my feet was on fire!

My club team this summer was Albuquerque Adrenaline. We played 14u and loved it. We started our team from scratch and beat teams that have been together for years! I have played 1st base all season and batted 4th. Can I just say I LOVE softball! The feeling of the bat hitting the ball, the dirt catching in my cleats, stretching for a catch, throwing perfectly, everything!

 1st base!

 I'm not 100% sure why my hands are up so high...

 Ready...

 SWING!!!

Bunt!

Welcome to Albuquerque Adrenaline Softball =)

Rolling in the Deep

So, unlike you were thinking, this post is not about Adele... sorry. It is literally about rolling in the deep! Yesterday we went to the pool, and let me tell you, Albuquerque doesn't have many pools. Last summer my mom and I were bored to death at home, so we packed up the rug-rats and went in search of the perfect pool in Albuquerque, and after a whole summer of searching, we never found it. Sad but true, one of the driest places in America is void of a decent water park.

Borrego Creek Family Center has the best pool in the 505, and it doesn't get deeper than 2 feet. There is 1 small slide and lots of shade, that's about as much as we could ask for. We have seen the freezing pools, the "hot tub" pools, even the pools filled with baby vomit... And this pool happens to be very close to home, in fact, its practically in our backyard... literally. Welcome to our personal family pool! ha!

Dolphins and rainbows, could it get more peaceful?

Pitiful isn't it? But we did find a decent pool close to home that does get deeper than 2 feet and has a slightly larger slide. Welcome to Summer in New Mexico.

Here is where rolling in the deep comes into play... Dad thought it would be fun to go really fast down the slide with Addi, and they went a little to fast. They flew off the slide into the water, totally immersed in the chilly liquid. We thought Addi was going to mad as a hornet, but she loved it! Looks like I taught her well!

 Addi moments after the incident! ;)
