Thats a Wrap!

The season ended this weekend. We did well in the playoffs, won 2 lost 2. Our wins came back to back on Saturday with a wonderful team picnic in between. Both of Saturday's games were come from behind wins, and boy were they loaded with emotion! We continued that pace into Sunday's game against Willamette and were looking like we were going to move on to the semi-finals when they hit an uncatchable grandslam that put them up by one point and elevated their spirits 10 fold. They never looked back and and ended up winning the game. They played well. Our boys bounced back quick. Two minutes after the game, they were trading cards, playing whiffleball and having a great time just playing and being kids. Summer felt like it had officially arrived and brought with it a side order of sunburn for Kim and I. Ouch. this morning was and still is painful.
I wanted to thank Mark and Ron and Bob again for all their hard work and patience. As Ron pointed out on Saturday, instead of coaches we ended up with 3 dads. Well Ron, I'll take that any day. You guys have been great and my son has come an awful long way in a short period of time and I thank you guys for it.
I also wanted to say how much both Kim and I enjoyed meeting and becoming friends with all the other parents and grandparents that came out for every game. And now I feel I can consider myself one of the thousands that Dort already knows. We look forward to seeing you all in the years to come.
