Little League Opening Day 2017

Today was Ryan's first tee ball game and he could not have been more excited! The countdown to game day started last weekend. I heard a door slam at 4a and knew exactly what he was doing - putting on his uniform. Ha! I had to explain dark = nighttime. He was still raring to go by 7am. They had a big opening day parade and ceremony with a marching band. This little league stuff is no joke. Watching the game was just about the cutest thing I've ever seen - I loved every minute of it. A bunch of Emmy's friends from school were around - boys from her class and younger brothers of her friends. I really felt part of a community and it makes me so happy to think that Ryan will know so many little boys going to kindergarten.

He played awesome and had a ton of fun. Josh is one of the assistant coaches so was right there with him. Not sure who loved it more. Looking forward to many games to come :)

Walking in the parade

Hard to capture but there were a ton of teams!

Emmy and Audrey :) Audrey's brother plays on a different team so they will play each other a few times this season. These girls cruised around the park like they owned the joint, can only imagine what they will be getting into in years to come...

Game time!

Emmy and Mikaela cheering for their bros. Who also happen to live around the corner from us :)

He nailed it like this every time!

First run home.

First base. I was actually amazed at how they all knew the rules and what to do (generally ;) ) 

Good game high fives

After game snow cones which I am sure will become a tradition.
