They got to the field just on time. Katie got out to warm up with her team while Bette, Tina and Em went to get a good spot to watch the game from. They found one by where the rest of the players moms and dads were. This had become a weekly thing for the Kenard-Poter’s for the last 3 years since Katie started to play fastpicth softball and on some weekends Emily was playing too so they had to split up. When the girls played closer to home the whole gang would come to watch and cheer their two favorite girls on.
