Take me out to the ball game

What a day! It all started out with the baseball Jamboree. It was cold, but not raining, which was great. Mae was the boys little cheerleader today and actually kept her pigtails in the entire time! As soon as we got into the car though, it was another story.
Here she is with Shannon.

The 12 year olds were honored with a medal because it is their last year in little league.
Myron had to show off his "bling".
The T-ballers were too sweet as they ran the bases. The 12 year olds stood in a line and gave them low fives as they ran by.

Mae, not quite enjoying herself, but still a true cheerleader!

If only Brennan had gotten on the AAA Cubs team, we would have had all been Cubs (minus Nathan, but he is in the older league now)


After the jamboree, we headed over to the waterfront park Easter egg hunt. There wasn't much left by the time we got there. FYI, we were there about 1 minute after they sounded the horn.
Brennan had fun in the 9-12 year old area though. We had great timing. Nathan was arriving home within a half an hour (early) and so we podunked around Winslow until he arrived.
We hit the library book sale and the high school rummage sale and picked up some amazing finds, including a vintage bunkbed set, some vintage lamps and a bike for Brennan.
After all of that and picking up Nathan, we headed home for lunch and a quick nap for Mae, Ry and me. Myron was already at a friends from his team, so no worries about getting him to the fields early, but Nathan and Shane still had to head out around 2:40 for Nathans game (up the road from Myrons). I got to stay behind and Bren rode his bike to the fields up from our house. I met him at 5 for his game. I was blown away. I couldn't believe how amazing of a pitcher he was. 1,2, 3 outs! He also played catch and hit a double. Way to go Brennan! After the game, it was off to Myrons. They didn't do so well. 18-9. I think it is humbling for Myron who has always been on the team that has gone to the finals (except last year, by one game) 5 years in a row. Nathans team did very well and their final score was 18-5. Nathan scored a single and a run. He is playing with kids ages 12-18 so this is great for him!
Tomorrow is Easter, so I will save some words for tomorrow. Happy Easter everyone.
