The Opening Day was nice. Each team marched in with a banner (I made ours - I'm quite proud of it) and they were announced as they entered the field. The league provided had a batting cage, pitching cage, and moon bounce - Michael tried them ALL out. They also brought in a t-shirt vendor who did silk screening on-site. We were all pretty fascinated by the process of applying inks in a certain order and then using heat to seal it in. Samantha, Michael, and I each got a Tye-dyed shirt with the Opening Day logo on it.(Michael is on the far right - I know its hard to tell with all of their hats pulled so low!)
We then headed over to Samantha's first soccer game. Yes, we spent many a Saturday during sports season at a variety of venues. Samantha's team only had 6 players there, so they all played the entire game. Samantha played 3 quarters on offense and then one as goalie (she was tired of running)! Samantha's team won 2-0. It was actually a pretty good game - good offense and defense on both sides and decently hustling by everyone!I didn't actually attend Michael's game today. It was at 5pm and it was cold and damp (it had been drizzling off and on all day). They played almost all of the 6 innings until they called it. Michael played pitcher, 2nd base, and center field. He also had a couple of really strong hits.
So, spring sports have started for us! Is it too awful to start the countdown until they are over?

Sounds like a fun time had by all! Before we moved out here, we had a townhouse in Sterling, so when I read your blog, I get a little nostalgic. :)
I find it funny - my nieces and nephews are just starting their sports too - but it's Autumn here. They all play hockey....so we have a Winter season. I can't tell you how many times I have frozen to death watching them play!
