The Champions!!!

The champions!
Aedan's team won the championship game Thursday night!  I am so thankful that it did not rain on Thursday!  It was like 70% chance, but just stayed overcast much of the day!  The last thing I wanted was for the game to be delayed, and for Ryan to miss the championship due to the youth mission trip to Costa Rica.  Praise God that was not the case!  The Rays lost to the Raptors in the game before us so we played the Raptors.  I knew that Aedan would be alright when he caught a ball in the air to get an out at 1st.  I am always weary of the late games for Aedan.  This game started at 6:45, and was also the Thursday of our VBS week.  (Coming up in the next post.)  The boys went to bed at 7:20ish Wednesday night in hopes that it would help Aedan.  Also, I've noticed he seems to play better and is less sluggish when he eats good protein during the day.  We ate Chick-fil-a chicken for lunch and the leftovers before heading to the game.  He rested all afternoon after VBS.  We had a movie marathon!  hahaha!  It paid off though, he played really well!  He had a couple of close base running moments.  He was able to outrun the opponent each time. :)  He made several outs at first!  Later in the game, he was moved to pitcher, once the game was pretty much over.  He made a great throw to 1st and got a runner out, and then also chased a runner down going from 3rd to home.  It is so fun to watch him play!  Their record for the season is 13-0, so they finished undfeated.  Woot! Woot! They each got a trophy and a medal!
