baseball begins

I guess baseball is huge here in Nebraska. To kickoff the season they have an "opening ceremony". The kids get to parade into the gym and then they have a carnival afterwards full of games with prizes, clowns that make balloon creatures and paint faces, bouncy houses, and free lunch of hot dogs, chips, and drinks and you could go back as many times as you wanted. A local news anchorman announced the teams as well. And then of course they had a first pitch. Their hats are even official MLB hats. Jaedon's team is the Cardinals. (Jaedon is the last one, of the last red team, with the gray pants, in front of the coach. The one that waves at the end)

(Jaedon is actually number 7. For some reason his name got skipped when printing the names on the back)

He missed his first practice and game. The practice was rained out, and then we went on vacation and missed the game. But he had one today and did really well. More posts to come of vacation and game later.

Wow, it really is big, but how fun for the kids to have everyone make such a big deal about it. Jaedon has always loved baseball so I bet he does well. Can't wait to see your vacation pictures! Happy Easter!!!

He looks just so cute in his outfit!!! What a sweetheart. Reminds me of when his dad use to play. Jon was a good little player and better yet he was a good little sport. Now it is your little Jaedons turn. My how time flies. So wish we lived close enough to watch him play. Enjoy the moment as they grow up way too fast. Claudia
