Game Ball

It was a bittersweet day.  We had our last T-ball game.  We had a great team this year.  Our coaches were fantastical, and the team parents were a lot of fun to hang around with.  We really enjoyed the games.  The kids had a blast!  They are stoked for next year.  Every game a new player got a game ball.  The coaches were so good at picking out something special each child did that particular game as the "reason" they got that particular game ball.  By the end of the season every kid had gotten the coveted "GAME BALL".  Last game of the season, do you know what our coaches did?  They gave every kid on the team a "GAME BALL".  What a great group of guys.  My kids were so excited.

 As tiring as spending a day at the fields could be, we really enjoyed this baseball season.  I became quite good at making picnics for us to partake in, so we were not spending a fortune at the snack bar.  We had a bag of toys and a blanket for the babe to keep her occupied, as well as bug spray,sunscreen, and cases upon cases of gatorade and juice bags.  We won some, we lost some, we tied lots (t-ball and coach pitch don't keep score).  We ate dust, sat through rain, had our fair share of hotdogs, and spit sunflower seeds.  We cheered, we didn't boo, we clapped, we laughed, we bit our nails with suspense, we volunteered, we coached (even when we weren't supposed to).  It was a good time.  I am grateful for our little league.  Not all little leagues are like ours; I know; we've been in them.  But, we finally found a good one.  And I am so grateful.  It is filled with wonderful coaches, great kids, awesome parents, and wholesome ideas, and the snack bar serves a mean burger - hot off the grill.  Thank you Upper Providence Little League, for another year of fond memories.
