Esther's Braves- Miracle League 2012

I can't believe this baseball season is over already! It honestly seemed to FLY by! The season and coaching experience was TO DIE FOR! I tell you it is one thing in life to see children just having FUN! I may be biased, but I do think we had the BEST team of the league! :)

A few highlight moments for me:
Little Colin (see we had Big and Little Colins!) was paired up with one of my best friends who was volunteering as a buddy that day. I thought this would be a great pair up-- only to my demise Colin muttered, "Oh man, I got stuck with the old lady today." Now, clearly Carol was not an old lady at the young age of 43, BUT I made Colin happy and changed his buddy for him!

"Cheeseburger Fries" Chase- always geared up each game for the catcher position. He was terrific at this and his dad, Terry- my co-coach, was always out there in full support to make sure Chase could earn his Cheeseburger Fries after a good game!

Lucas- he was one of our home run hitters! I tell you, these kids are terrific and many of them have hit it out of the park on more than one occasion.

Thank you for the great memories and I'll be back for more next year. The parents, athletes, directors, coaches and buddies have been so wonderful over the course of this season!
