Fall Ball

Fall baseball wrapped up a few weeks ago. It was a long fall season but thankfully the weather didn’t turn cold until truly the day after his season ended! He was on the Giants and had a really great coach and group of boys. Will himself had a really good season and we saw so much improvement in both his fielding and hitting over the course of the fall.

A few pics from throughout the season….

Near the end of the season he was good for a double or triple almost every game. Watching him raise his fists in excitement on the base was so much fun!

For the end of season celebration, there was a parents vs kids kickball game, which was a lot of fun, followed by pizza and the trophy presentations. When Will’s name was called, Avery walked right up there with him, jokingly pushing him from behind. She stood right there beside him and listened intently to the coach as he talked about Will. Will got the most improved infielder award. I think she even tried to hold one of his trophies. And when it was over, Avery followed Will right back to his seat.

Matt remarked afterwards that it probably didn’t even occur to Avery that Will really should have gone up there by himself. She just adores him so much, I think she just assumes wherever he goes, she goes. And bless her heart, she has spent a lot of hours of her life on the sidelines of a ball field so she probably does deserve a trophy!

Right now we’re just enjoying our 2.5 month break before baseball starts again! We decided to take a break from basketball this winter…..I am sure we will pick it back up next year.
