Opening Day

Sorry not a great pic but here are the boys at opening ceremonies for the Hoquiam Baseball League.

It was raining so everyone was under a covered area waiting for the rain to let up enough for team photos.  Spoiler alert: the rain never let up and the photo was taken under the covered area.

Both boys play on the Lytle Seafood Twins.

Everyone was excited to play their first game...unfortunately because of the rain plans changed and the team headed for the High School and played in the gym instead.

The boys play in the minor league which is 9 - 11 year olds.  The boys on the team range from 3rd to 5th grade but we do have 1 2nd grader.  The coaches son.  Our WONDERFUL coach is Mr. Jump who is a high school teacher and coaches the high school baseball team.  He is so great with the boys and is teaching them skills they can really use.  No small wonder that his son is already a baseball dynamo! 

Hoquiam is a small world and Coach Jump is married to one of the Principals at Sky's school.  Did I mention we play at Olympic Stadium on Jump Field?  Our coach Jump has a brother, who coaches the Case Mia team, which is the Jump Family Italian Restaurant that was started by coach's mom.

Got all that?
