SPRINGFIELD CAPITOLS BASEBALL 2010

This season Adam got to pitch more...which he really enjoyed. We were glad to see that all those pitching lessons we got him at the end of last summer really paid off. He had several strike outs, walked some and only hit a few batters! It was pretty nerve-racking watching him, but we enjoyed every minute and were very proud of him all summer long!! It was kind of sad when the last game ended because this is Adam's last summer with this team. Most of these boys have been together since they were 7 and they originally started out as the Giants in coach-pitch league. Then when we moved up to kid-pitch, we became the Padres. This past year we became the Capitols. Next year Adam will try-out for his middle school team, so hopefully he will continue playing baseball and make some new friends and teammates too!

Our team...Tommy Drake, Adam, Charlie Costa, Garrett Vance, Jackson Lanzotti, Coach Handley, Brock Williams, Gannon Handley, Danny Collins, Riley Hulligan and Michael Groesch

4TH OF JULY

The 4th of July weekend was spent mostly in the pool. We were lucky this year to have sunny days, with only a little rain for the fireworks. Emily and I picked up Maggie and Molly on Monday while Papa and DD go to Colorado for the week. All three dogs REALLY wanted to go swimming, but we kept the gate closed and were successful at keeping them out.

TAYLORVILLE COOK-OUT

Saturday night Jeff and Stephanie invited everyone to their house for a 4th of July cook-out. We played a fun game of wiffle ball (Powers v. Robinsons) and then on to bocce ball.
