Baseball Season

What a great season!
We had a great team and it was so fun to watch them work together to win.  We were in the lead for the playoffs but lost the playoff game.  We can't complain we all had a great time watching good baseball. It is fun to watch these kids grow older and see them stronger each year.
Carter filled in for one game as catcher this year and enjoyed it.  So, he played that position several times and played it very well with his quick reflexes.  (Maybe all that cup stacking came in handy)  It amazes me that he likes it so much after all the fears of being hit by a baseball. Now he is in direct line of the ball each pitch, but not many balls get past him.   He also was one of our strongest and most consistent pitchers.
End of season party.  
This is always a good way to end the season.  Recognizing the players and encouraging them to play again. We had a parents vs. kids baseball game that was so fun.  The kids were surprised that us adults could hit the ball.  Silly kids never underestimate what your parents can do..haha.

The kids had to vote for their top 3 players to represent our team at the All-star game on the 4th of July.  Carter was the top vote along with Elias and Chandler being the alternate.  These are some great boys that show good sportsmanship. 
 
Can't wait for next Spring..I love this game!
