Auburn warming up in the outfield before the first inning of her softball game.

Reach,

crank, and

throw.  Pretty good form, huh?

Auburn gets a hit.

Waiting on second base to be driven in by one of her teammates.

Auburn scores!

Pretty good, huh coach?  Coach?  Coach?

Coach giving her team instruction.

Coach and team celebrate a victory.
Melina's game starts and she is up to bat.
Melina takes a good cut.....

and gets a hit.

Nothing like the exhilaration of scoring after getting on base.

Waiting on first base for a throw from one of her infielders.

A little high on the throw, but she got it!

Waiting on another throw.
Gotta stretch for this one!

Not going to get there on time.

But she caught it anyway.

Snagging another throw.

Getting walked.

Melina does NOT enjoy the lack of opportunity to hit.

Finishing up the game where she loves to play, at first base.
 Neil is getting ready for his baseball game.
 After chasing a ball in the outfield, he is making his throw back into the infield.
 Check out that determination!
 He hits the ball into the outfield.......
and hits a homerun in front of the admiring family.

It's the annual spring football game for FSU and you have to throw around a football before....

stuffing your face at the tailgate party.

After eating, we leave for the stadium.

Walking, walking, walking.

The boys decided to take a break and slide down a hill on their stadium seats.

In the stadium.

Riveted on the game.

Coach Fisher is not pleased with one of his players.

This game is a chance for players to make an impression on the coaching staff.

The band is on hand for adding spirit to the game.

During halftime, former players come back to participate in a flag football game.  This is Brad Johnson, former Super Bowl winning quarterback.

Another former quarterback who played in the NFL, Casey Weldon.

A symbol that brings pride to every Seminole fan.

Yeah, the game is just that important!

Cheerleaders getting in on the action.

Rick and Auburn got to watch the game from one of the sky boxes.

Game is over, time to walk to the car and fight the traffic back home.
