End of T-Ball Season Fun

Finley had an absolute blast playing t-ball this season with ABYB (Acton-Boxborough Youth Baseball).  He had coaches who knew what they were doing, a good mix of players on his team, plenty of fun snacks, and a pizza and trophy party to wrap it all up!  This past Saturday was his last game and he already told us he wants to play again next year.

It was a gorgeous day and the other team's coach had brought some great baseball tunes to play in between innings (Centerfield, Sweet Caroline, etc) and the kids had a great time.  Finley got to play short stop, left field, and first base.  At first base, he fielded well and impressed the coach at home plate with his throws home :) Here's out number 14 at bat for the last time this season.

In classic America suburban style, we headed to a local pizza joint for lunch and trophies after the game.  

 (I love Dagny's excited expression in the above shot.)

He loves his new trophy and would probably sleep with it if it wasn't kind of pointy.  It even says his team name and his full name on it (and "it's golden, mommy, really gold!").

While she didn't get a trophy, Dagny certainly earns the MVP spectator award this season.  She LOVED going to Finley's games and practices (far more than I did, at time).  GG can attest to this reality when the three of us were out produce shopping after Finley, Dan and Grandpa had gone off to one of Finley's games and Dagny broke out into tears when she realized she wasn't going, too.  She truly enjoyed packing up a bag of stuff to bring, setting out our blanket, and sitting in our fish beach chairs.

"I can see Finley and his blue shorts and green cleats."

 "This is Finley with his glove and this is me saying, "Go Finley Go!"

She's chomping at the bit for her turn to be on the field and I can only hope Finley will be as good of a fan as she has been for him!
