Opening Day continued

At the end of the parade, the kids all lined up on the American League field for the opening ceremonies.

Anakin's team lined up.

We were lucky that Anakin's game was first up for the day so we went straight from opening ceremonies to the field. Anakin got in the dugout and got his stuff togehter.

We had to tighten his ball cap so much and every time he puts it on without brushing his hair back it pushes his ears out and his hair hangs down and he looks a little elf-like. Oh, and of course he's like the tiniest kid on his team. lol

In t-ball, they have two innings and all the kids on each team get to bat each inning. There are no outs and no score taken.

Anakin's Opening Day (Picture heavy!)

Last week was little league opening day. Anakin was so excited to be in the parade through town that morning. We had to be up and at the high school at ten minutes to eight in the morning for team pictures and to line up for the parade. We got him there and settle on his teams float and left to meet him at the end of the parade route where they'd be having the opening ceremonies.

Of course I had my camera and tried to get decent shots all the teams. I loved seeing how excited the little ones were and laughed at the less than enthusiastic older kids that were too cool to smile and wave.

A town cop led the way through town followed by Little Miss and Miss Sesquicentennial (we just celebrated out towns 150th birthday this past fall).

After that came the town's volunteer fire department vehicles.

And the marching band playing kung fu fighting. lol

And then the teams! First up are the tball teams, followed by coach pitch on up.



Here comes Anakin's team!
















Of course the kids on the fire dept team really get to ride in style.

Our neighbor's team! He has befriended Anakin and even let him come play catch with him and his brother. :)




Love this one girl! lol
