Before each game the kids say the Pledge of Allegiance and then the Little League Pledge. It's pretty cute. 
Grace and Joe both had their first game today. Joe played at 9 and Grace at 11. I had a great time watching them play and they both did great! I just wish that the weather had been about 10 degrees cooler. It was so stinkin' hot!! Thankfully the rest of Grace's games are in the evening and Joe always plays at 9 on Saturday. It was just starting to get hot towards the end of his game, the worst was during Grace's game. We should be getting some cooler temperatures soon, I hear that there is a cold front moving in this week. Woohoo for that!! Below is Joe batting and then running to first base. He plays coach pitch and each kid gets 10 pitches and if they still haven't hit they give them the tee. Joe got the tee on his first turn but hit the ball the next two times he batted. I've got video but it'll be tomorrow before I get it on the blog.
It's hard to tell which one is Joe but he's the one playing short stop and second boy behind the coach. One got hit to him and he stopped it and ran right to second with the ball. 
The kids are pretty enamored with the concession stand. Hannah and Joe both got Push Pops after Joe's game. Grace got some taffy after her game.
Here is Grace's team getting ready for the Pledge. They don't have their uniforms yet, hopefully by their next game. For today they all wore white.
I didn't take any pictures during Grace's game. I did take some video though. My only excuse was that I was too hot to move to get into a good location for taking a picture of her. When she was batting and close to me I was videoing. We will have plenty more games though and I'll get some pictures eventually!
Hot, sweaty, but soooo happy!

Looks like a wonderful day at the ballpark. Wish we could have been there! Thanks for posting pictures.
Enjoy this busy time of life, they will grow up really fast!
Love, Mom
Yea for Joe and Grace!!!! I think the only reason Sarah played for as many years as she did was because of the concession stand...LOL And, let me tell you cold temps are just as bad as the hot ones...I psent many a morning/evening sweating and then freezing my butt off!
How fun! I am glad that they had a great time. Last Thursday I sat in a monsoon (the start of the ATL flooding) to watch Harrison NOT play football due to a broken hand. The fun is beginning now!
Kate's first game was cancelled, but they had practice from 12:30 to 2:30. I felt so bad for her because it was HOT.
It sounds like your kids had a great first day. Grace looks VERY happy, but when doesn't she?
How did Joe do with "everyone looking at him"? Did it even come up on game day? They look so grown up (and adorable)!
Yeah Grace and Joe!! We'll come to some games! By the way, did you know those little league fields are where we first met Miss Shawnie?!
Our first games are on Tue, although Levi and Mandi will not be able to play because they are getting over the flu.
My kids love the consession stand, too. I usually let them get one thing.
