Opening Day 2013

Why does opening day bring cold, rainy or windy weather? It seems like as soon as baseball season starts so does the crazy weather. We had a full day ahead of us on Saturday March 2, 2013. We had to be at the Sportsplex by 9AM! Gene has his own tournament so it was me plus three ALL day! The weather was FREEZING and WINDY! I can hardly believe we made it all day. We were at the field from 9AM – 4:30PM. My kiddoes did well and my sweet neighbor may have taken Trace for a nap so we could enjoy Trenton’s first game!

Trenton’s team this year is the Storm. We have an amazing coach and feel very lucky to have gotten on this team.

My littles all bundled up waiting for the parade to start.

All of the teams walk with their coach carrying the team banner. Once all of the teams are in they start the Opening Ceremonies and awards.

We had a short break between opening ceremonies and pictures. We decided to kick back in the expedition and have a picnic. We watched cars and relaxed. Anything to try and keep warm.

Sister hung in the whole time!

After pictures (and poor Trace crying for almost an hour) we headed to Trenton’s exhibition game.

Watching the team play before we headed onto the field

I remember when we took this trip when Trenton was a little over one! Now he is 5 and actually playing out on the field! My goodness how he is growing up way to fast!

He is doing a great job with the pitching machine. He was nervous at first, but Daddy took him to hit at his field several times before practice started.

Coach Phil is great. After every swing he walks towards the batter and talks to him. Gene even commented on what a great coach he is which is impressive!

Trenton played center field and actually threw a guy out at home! I am so proud of him. He is doing so much better in pitching machine than he did in t-ball.

Daddy rushed over from his field so he could watch Trenton’s game. He does everything he can to make it to his games and Trenton is usually so pumped when he see’s him!
