Little League Baseball State

Tyler and Mason's baseball team had their State tournament for our area July 10-13.  We played one game the first day when we were suppose to have two games but the second one got rained out.  We were going to go home after the games the first day but since we were going to play the rained out game the next morning we ended up staying the night.
The boys played really good this weekend.  They had some good hits and catches.  It was really fun to watch them.
I think it has been really fun watching these two boys play ball this summer.  They both take it pretty serious but have a lot of fun.
They have both improved a lot over the last few weeks.  They have both taken some good beans too.
Elly and Drake have had fun being drug along where ever we are going to watch these boys play ball.  They love playing with all the other kids that are their watching too.  They also love cheering Tyler and Mason on. 
During on of the games when Tyler was pitching every time Elly would yell at him to throw a strike he would.  It was pretty funny and she thought it was great.
Most of the time Drake was trying to run off with the boys bats, gloves, helmets and balls so he could play baseball.
These boys looked so cute in their uniforms.  Mason was so excited about their uniforms this year.  He could hardly wait until he got his.
The team ended up taking second, which we thought was great.  The kids have had so much fun playing ball this season.  They have had lots of fun swimming together when we go to tournaments on the road.  These kid really have a fun together.
Tyler and Mason didn't end up playing in the Championship game because my dad had had a really bad stroke on the 10th and so by the day and time of the championship game we were getting some bad news that they didn't think my dad was going to make it.  We loaded our kids up after the semi-final game and headed up to Idaho Falls to see my dad. 
It was really hard to sit through my kids games while we were here and not feel like I needed to be somewhere else.  My dad and mom where suppose to be stopping on their way past the area to watch the boys play ball.  I had to pretend like everything was okay so my kids wouldn't be worried. It was very hard to decided to stay and watch my kids instead of running up to be with my dad.  I know he would have wanted me with my kids supporting them. 
These were the cool trophies the boys each ended up getting for second place.
