Back to the ballpark!

 Austin played his very first baseball game last night and he was so excited to play!  We were excited to go and watch!  We wrapped up in blankets because the weather is still chilly here in our neighborhood!  We are really ready for barefoot weather to come and stay but the chill in the air didn't seem to effect the boys playing baseball!

We signed Austin up in the same league that Matthew played in for many years.  It felt good to go back and sit on the sidelines of a ballgame!  We used to do this SO MUCH every summer when Mike played a few nights a week and then Matthew played and we were busy but going to the park as a family was always fun for our family!  Mike and Matthew now are playing golf and not baseball so it was fun to watch a ballgame again!  Especially with our son playing in it!

Austin plays for the Flames and they had the late game.  As we waited for their game to begin, Austin and I were bundled up to stay warm!

Such a cute dude wearing his number 44 jersey!  Just like his dad!!!!

In this division, the players play in different positions each inning.  Austin played right field and back catcher!!!!!

He had three at bat and three hits!!!!  He did great!

The Flames won 14-13!  Austin was so happy!  We came home tired, dirty and ready for bed!  This is going to be a fun summer watching him play ball!  Mike was the Flames pitcher for their first game.  The dads pitch and the boys hit and run!  The game goes much faster this way but when they advance in the league, the boys become pitchers and the competition gets much tougher!

Let's go Flames!!!!
