All Star Weekend!

Our weekend was filled with baseball! On Friday night we had the All Star Competition. It consisted of a throwing, running and hitting contest. Jackson did well and was just so excited to be there. We went from that to the Chuck E Cheese party. The next morning we had 2 All Star Games. By Saturday night, we had one very tired 7 year old!

Waiting for his turn at the throwing contest.

Our All Star...number 5!

Look how grown up he looks.






The boys waiting for their turn to run the bases.










Good swing!




SATURDAY MORNING GAMES

Our friend Parker. He was in Jackson's kindergarten class too!

Each team and player was introduced and got to run across home plate. Very exciting!

Catching a ball. He actually caught two pop flies during the games. He was very proud (as was his daddy).

Jackson had his own cheering section. Uncle Michael, Aunt Kristin (and baby "Dunker" in her belly), Mimi and Popsy. Papa, Grandma and his cousin Brendan came all the way from Virginia and Ohio!

Our unofficial photographer...Papa!

On third base ready to come home.

He slid every time he crossed home plate. I should buy stock in Oxyclean and Krud Kutter.

Waiting for another pop fly in the outfield. Of course I didn't get it on film, but he caught one right before I took this pic!

The cheering section moved to the fence to keep up with the babes.

Brendan with his very red tongue!

Playing outfield.

Waiting to hit again.

What a stance.

Getting his All Star Medal.

Cooper is an All Star in training. This is him sliding. Basically he would run and then fall on his bottom. Papa would call him "safe" and he would laugh. This went on for a while!

Ainsleigh hanging out in the dug out. She ran the bases for a while, but decided to cool off in the shade.
