Baseball and softball season finally ended. All three of them played and had a great time. Ashton's team didn't do so well, but there is always next year. Hadleigh's team did really well and only lost one game. Sawyer was in his last year of t-ball so everyone was a winner. lol He just can't get enough of baseball.
Here are some of my favorite photos from this season.
On May 16th, our Little League held their Opening Day. We also had team and individual pictures that day. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. They started with a little parade and ended at the fields where they had pictures and then games.
I was in charge of the photos, because I'm on the Little League board. We had to move the photographers from where we normally take the photos, because it was in right field of one of the diamonds we were using. It was a last minute change, but it worked out. I think the new background turned out better because it showed a lot of greenery. The teams were all mostly on time, which was good for my schedule and for the most part we were ahead of schedule. We had one team that told his parents the wrong time, but other than that, the day seemed to go smoothly. I did miss my kids' games, which I was bummed about, but I did see both for a couple of plays.
Here they are during the parade.
Ashton during his game. His field was closest to me, so I saw a tiny bit of his game between team photos.
On Saturday August 1st, we had our annual baseball/softball awards ceremony. The kids look forward to it every year because they get a trophy. The trophies are always really nice and each one has their name on it. I think it's really nice that our Little League Board puts out the money to have such great trophies for our kids.
The ceremony was held outdoors for the first time. It was held in the morning before the annual slow pitch softball tournament. I think it worked out really well this way. The only thing we'll need to improve on is lining the kids up so our photo ops are better. :)
They started with the t-ball teams. Sawyer's number is 2.
