One of the nice things about our subdivision having it's own sports league is that there is a real strong sense of community. One of the things that goes on annually is a parade down the main street of the subdivision on the opening day of the baseball season featuring all of the little sluggers.
Benjamin is playing t-ball this season and his team has been practicing for about a month now with his first game coming up on April 2nd. He got his uniform just before the parade and I think the excitement is just now starting to hit him. He's been asking me to play catch or let him hit off the tee in the back yard several nights in a row.
His team met at a location and were promptly given donut holes, which Bekah enjoyed as well.
Then they all ran around for a bit....Bekah certainly didn't want to be excluded from that either.
They loaded up the pickup truck and headed out.
At this point Jennifer, Bekah and myself headed down the road to find a place to park and then find a suitable location along the parade route to cheer for the Angels as they passed by.
The parade was led by a fire engine and had at least 70 pickups/teams in it. It was 1,100 kids. I was pretty impressed with the turnout for the parade....the street was lined pretty much as far as I could see in both directions.
Here are the Angels!
After the parade there was a big opening ceremony at the baseball fields, where Bekah enjoyed herself.
It was a busy (and early) morning for us all but Benjamin was excited and seems to be looking forward to the season.
