Maria was in the local paper this week! :) How many more times do you think she'll be in a newspaper ;) I think she was in the paper at least 3 times in Wisconsin. She certainly has a knack for it :)
She also had her first softball game last night. They were supposed to have a practice on Tuesday, but the field was too wet, so they met for practice an hour before the game. It was certainly not a bad game for only having 1 hour of practice! It's not a competitve league, so they don't actually keep score. Maria did a great job! She played right field for two innings and then was catching for the next inning. They rotate positions, and she will be pitching at the next game. She struck out her first time at bat, but the second time?? She hit a double!! It was a good solid hit right between the third baseman and short stop. The pictures I got weren't the greatest - they were taken with my cell phone because my camera batteries ran out after taking 2 pictures of her doing some warm-up exercises...
Anyway, so our big plans for the weekend?
We were watching a show on the Travel channel called
Hamburger Paradise, about the best hamburgers in America. Of course none of the places were anywhere close, but Mike was trying to find out about a place in Illinois we saw on a segment on
Sunday Morning that had great burgers and he happened upon
Iowa's Best Burger Cafe. It's in Kellog, IA, which is about an hour or so away from us. So we are off to have a taste of Iowa's Best Burger!! They also have some yummy looking ice cream on the menu ;) I will definately be posting pictures of our trip :)
