Both of the boys did GREAT! Their team, the Timber Rattlers, finished just ahead of the middle of the pack. That turned out well, because they were good enough to win several games (and, of course, winning is always more fun), but not so good that everything got too competitive. The boys were two of the better players on the team and loved every minute of it. They were even selected for the All Star team and played in two All Star games on the last day of the season. We were so proud of our All Stars!! (In fact, Charlie had a catch in the first All Star game that was the best catch I saw all season!)
The baseball bug has hit hard in the Maddux family. The boys are attending a baseball camp this summer, and they've ganged up with their dad to convince me that they should play baseball again in the fall, too. (Along with soccer, whew!) I have to admit, though, that I love baseball, too. And I love seeing my boys play it. Helen and Will can't wait to be next. Although they've got a couple of years, they attended every game, sometimes wearing their baseball gloves, and loved to run the bases after the game was over.
Here are some pictures from the season:
