The Official Start of Summer

Friday evening was the official start of summer here in Enterprise with the Opening Ceremony of the summer baseball. Baseball is a very BIG event here in Enterprise. This year Riley is playing T-ball on the Reds and Dylan is playing in the Dixie Minors on the Braves. It was a grand event with over 700 players in attendance. We had the honor of having the Mayor of Enterprise along with all the council members come out to cheer our children on. We also had in attendance the president of the Alabama Dixie Baseball Association. Each child ran the bases while the parents and guest of honor cheered them on. Our kids felt like pros and we are so proud of all 700 of them. The picture above is of Riley and Ryan Page. We met the Page family back in 98 when Jeff and Pat were in flight school together. It is so nice to meet up with friends from a few years back.
Saturday morning was the kickoff of baseball games and we were at the fields from 9:45 am until 1:45 pm. The boys both played great. Riley's game didn't have an official winner (they don't keep real score in t-ball) and Dylans team won their first game. It was a great start to an exciting baseball season. I didn't get any pictures on Saturday because it rained off and on so I left the camera in the car to protect it. But we have plenty of upcoming games and I will keep you all posted.

That's cool he's playing with Ryan! I know what you mean about meeting up with people, we know 9 families at Bragg. (5 from flight school)
I know of more than that but have been out of touch with them. I may have to look them up when we get there.
Well, tell Rhonda hello for me!
