April Showers!

David was sooooo looking forward to today. This morning was to be the "warm-up activity" to kick off next week's official baseball season. The Aggies (baseball team from USU) were sponsoring a "Pitching Clinic" for all kids in Providence.

For the first time, David is going to be playing in a baseball league and he is so excited! So yesterday, David and I went out and got him new sneakers, baseball pants, etc., so he would be ready.

We woke up this morning to an overcast sky. Devon and David still headed out to the park, with hopes that it would clear up. Soon it started to rain! Then, the rain turned to snow!

Despite all of this, a cold and wet boy arrived home smiling. I guess the stoic Aggies decided they couldn't let down the 30 plus kids that showed up this morning, so they carried on with the pitching clinic. The kids got at least thirty minutes of coaching in. After that, the snow was coming down so heavy they could see the ball anymore.

It's noon and still snowing!

Next Saturday (May 2nd) will be the official start of the little league baseball season. The kids will all receive their shirts, meet their teams, and have their photographs taken. I guess we should expect a record heat wave for that event!
