We spent the months of May and June at the ballpark. Lakin played Minor League Softball. It was coach pitched and she played just about every position on the field. Gage had a blast playing t-ball. It was quite entertaining watching them all run after every ball that was hit. A lot of thought was put into the numbers this year. Mark and I both tried to persuade them when picking numbers (we both wanted them to pick our old numbers) but they had their own thoughts. Lakin came home from the 2nd practice and was mad. She told me she picked number 84 but that Dad had told her that number was too high. I asked why she picked 84 and she said it was because that was how old Ggpa was when he passed away. How could we say no to that?? Gage decided (finally after 3 games into the season) that he would be number 29. He (completely on his own) asked one day what year Ggpa was born. When I told him 1929, he said, "Ok, I am number 29."
Mark coached both teams and loved every minute of it. Well...almost every minute :)
