Spring Sports Opening Day 2017

This was Emma last Saturday morning :(

Stayed home and had to miss opening day of softball and Gabriella's 2nd birthday party.

It was a beautiful day for opening ceremonies! It was moved up to the smaller Junior League baseball field and I thought it was the perfect location

Our 3 junior league teams joined forces to play an Italian team. 

Camden did great job at shortstop!
