This weekend was great and I had a blast with all the fun activities I did. I had three fun activities and was petrified when the weekend ended. To start the great weekend off, I had hitting practice for baseball. It was at the Parker Fieldhouse and went from 9:45 to 11:00.

I also had fielding practice on Sunday at the Parker Fieldhouse. This time, we…
