"Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets."
The beginning of May means that the end of baseball and softball season is in sight. It's been so much fun hanging at the ballpark this spring. Westside Little League park is one of the few places actually near our house, so we always enjoy any event that takes us there! Last week, both Delaney and Mason played games there on the same day, staggered so that Mark and I each got to watch some of both. After a couple years of practices on alternate days, and games never together, this was a true miracle between work and coaching Delaney's team. This spring has been good for our schedules, with most days seeing more than one kid at practice or games at the same place or close, and it's such a perk. And Kendal loves this season, even though she decided not to play this year, because it's the one sport with an active SNACK BAR. Allowances have been earned and spent this spring for sure.

| Favorite place to be on the field, behind the plate in the gear |

| Wishing the ball could get there faster! |
A year or so ago, our family pictures transitioned from vacation pictures to activity pictures, and now I love having these frozen moments as the kids change so fast and develop new skills along the way. And baseball and softball are always good!!!
