Carter truly has the best baseball coach ever! Jeff organized an outing to a Nashville Sounds game at the end of the season. But instead of just going to the game, Jeff got Carter's team to be really involved in the game with the "Field of Dreams" program. The boys got to go out on the field before the game started, get introduced, and stand with a Sounds player on the field during the National Anthem.
The Sounds moved to a brand new stadium this season and it is really nice! This was our first time going to a game this season. Brian's parents were visiting that weekend too so they got to join us.
Since I took the team photos this season, Jeff asked me to join the team on the field and get pictures of the kids.
Carter with the coach's sons, Christopher and Jack Henry ...
Davis and Drew ...
Gavin ...
The boys lined up in front of the home / 3rd base dugout ...
Before the Sounds came out onto the field, each boy on our team got introduced and their picture was up on the big screen ...
Carter's introduction ...
When the Sounds moved to the new stadium, they got a new logo and a new mascot. Meet Booster the Rooster (who just stole Jack Henry's hat) ...
The boys got to hang out on the field a little longer as they waited for the Sounds players. The boys on Carter's team have become great friends and really are a great group of kids ...
Our boys got to join Sounds players in the infield for the National Anthem.
Carter and Christopher were with the catcher.
The boys then joined their parents in the stands. We sat together on the first base side near the bullpen. The seats were good and perfect for kids that aren't paying attention the entire time for foul balls!
Our team got to do a few more things during the game. Jack Henry got to announce the Sounds players one inning ...
Then our four coaches got to compete in a wheelbarrow contest.
Jeff struggled a little with Big Gavin :)
Drew and Little Gavin got to do a bobble head contest where they each had a pedometer on their heads and had to shake their heads to see who had the most "steps".
Drew won and Gavin looked a little sick :)
We had such a fun time! It was really hot but we managed. Grayson also did great for his first baseball game!!! Even if he was a little sweaty!!!
