Opening Day - Silverado Little League

Cole has officially moved up to the "big leagues".  This year we registered him in the local little league.  The last two years we settled for NYS but he loves him some baseball so we figured it was time to move into a much more organized league.

Today was opening day for Silverado Little League.  It was a pretty exciting day for the boys and the parents.  First thing in the morning the boys received their uniforms and took their photos.

This year Cole is on the Diamondbacks!  He loves his team name because him and his sister have been watching so much Nat Geo Wild that they have every species pegged.

After photos we entered the team gift basket raffle.  Each team had to provide a gift basket to be raffled off as a fundraiser.  We were hoping to win the NY Giants basket but unfortunately we didn't have any luck!

Later in the afternoon all the teams lined the field, were introduced and got to run the bases!  The boys were sooooo excited!  They were scheduled to play a two inning scrimmage but unfortunately the weather turned to nasty.  The coach instead let each boy hit the ball and run the bases.  He didn't want to completely deflate their excitement due to a little wind and rain.  All in all it was an AWESOME time...now bring on the games!
