Baseball

This summer of 2008 was a very busy one. Chase played for two teams. Zach played for one and sub ed on another. Chase and Zach both played for Sherrill. A great small town team with lots of friends from school. Lots of good times. Besides playing ball, after the games they would catch frogs all around the ball diamond till we shut the lights off.

Chase played for the Dubuque Twins this year. Made lots of new friends from different schools. He even signed up for a baseball camp thru Loras College with another kid on the team. I was more scared then Chase was the first day I had to drop him off with a bunch of strangers, I didn't even want to leave the parking lot. I believe I had tears coming down, because I was scared for him. What if he couldn't tie his shoes, was afraid to ask to use the bathroom, didn't know how to order his lunch, and so much more. I was more scared that day then him starting school. He did awesome was such a big kid and got to know lots of kids on different teams.

Dubuque Baseball is much more advanced then Sherrill, which is good. Played a lot more and learned a lot more. Zach sub in for the Twins on two tournaments. Boy was he sure proud that he could play with kids two years older. First time up to bat Zach had a base hit, and the only one that inning to get a hit.

Chase also played a fall ball. It was where the kids pitch and you can steel bases. Everything that they do in baseball, which was called C ball. This summer he was in D ball which is 6,7, and 8 year olds. C ball is 8,9, and 10 years old. He did good for being young and moving up.

Can't wait till next year!
