Wednesday morning I woke up at Nadja's, showered, and then the two of us headed back to the farm. We made desserts for later in the day because the restaurant was expecting people. She showed me how to make chocolate mousse and then I helped with preparing little croissants.
After the family had lunch, I went outside to help set up some of the tables and such for the guests. Around 2pm, Tiin came and picked me up to take me to the field to help with the baseball academy practice. They did mostly hitting and I was able to give them a few tips. Afterwards, we scrimmaged and then I even pitched to them. I did alright for not pitching a baseball in years.
The academy practice ended around six and I stayed at the field until my practice. I was able to talk with Aunt Patti a bit via BBM and then Tiin showed up. He is pretty much always the first one there. I warmed up pitching to him until Chanti and some of the others girls showed up. Once we had all of the equipment and such, Jrene, Chanti, Nadja, and I pitched while everyone else did a little bit of fielding. Situations with positions followed and hitting was last.
Tiin drove me home after practice and I said how strange it felt to be leaving in less than three weeks. I asked him if it is weird when the American girls leave and he said of course. I guess it makes me feel a little better that maybe they will miss me as much as I will miss them and Switzerland.
I was able to have some dinner when I got back and then skype with Patti and my dad. I headed to bed afterwards because I was tired from the day's festivities.
