Opening Day

It's that time again. We are in full spring sports mode. Last Saturday was crazy because it was opening day for softball and baseball. We had to divide and conquer.

Neil is on the Angels this year. He had his team pictures first thing in the morning. It was pretty chilly at that time, like in the 30's! Poor little guy. Afterwards he walked in his parade, participated in a hit-a-thon (where he was inches from winning a tv), and then played his first game. He was pretty happy with his prizes of bubbles and a t-shirt. The girls and I were able to sneak away to see his game. He played the Cubs team and everyone did really well.

The girls and I spent the morning at the Softball opening. We got there early to set things up for the raffle at about 8am. I'm on the board so there was lots to do. They had a good time helping me make posters and hand out orders. This year Claire's team is Top Gun, and Grace is on the Vicious Vespas. The girls all lined up and had their own parade. It was so great to see all the girls out on the field in their colorful uniforms that I ordered. I definitely felt a sense of accomplishment. After the ceremony we went to watch Neil play. Then we all hit up McDonalds for a quick lunch. Afterwards, it was back to the fields. Both girls played their first games and won. It was a VERY long, but very fun day for all of us. We headed home around 6pm. 

Happy to have the sunshine back!
