Along with Carter, Drew (the assistant coach's son), Riley, and Chase were chosen.
Unfortunately Will and Luke were having their birthday party at the same time as the game. We had all already RSVP'd for the party so I still sent Rylan and Suzy still sent Chase. I took Rylan and Chase to the party but Brian stayed and took lots of pictures and videos for me!
The kids had their names announced before the game. The National League team:
Carter's first time at bat (his team was the visitors and he was the first to hit) ...
Carter's been needing the tee to hit lately but I think the coach pitching was a little bit better than our coach and Carter hit a pitched ball all three times at bat.
He got on base all three times too.
In the first (of three innings) Carter played third base (he played in the outfield the other two innings).
Look how much smaller Carter is than the giant kid on third base!
Carter's second time at bat ...
Scoring in the second inning ...
Carter's third time at bat ...
Scoring in the third inning ...
Carter's team (the Braves) did an awesome job and all hit pitches from the coach each inning.
Carter was a little sad to miss the birthday party but when I told him I thought he'd get a trophy, he was convinced that playing baseball was the right choice.
Carter, Drew, & Riley ...
As soon as I grabbed a close up photo of Carter's trophy, he had to add it to his collection in his room. I really need to factor all these trophies into my design for his new room!!!
I'm so proud of how well Carter has done with baseball this season. He does a great job always trying his best and paying attention during the game (something half our team doesn't do at all). I'm not sure what we are going to do in the fall - I'm not sure if we can do soccer and baseball again at the same time. Especially with a baby being due near the end of he season. We only have a couple of months to decide though because sign-ups aren't too far away!
