Destin Game Days

We spent lots of hot days at the baseball parks in and around Destin. Elaina was content as long as there was a concession stand and as long as I kept saying "yes". I did give in to an early morning sno cone run so I could watch the game in peace:)

Cade played a solid third base throughout 9 games and the Mavs came through with 9 straight wins! 

The team got a huge trophy!

And, the boys all got super bowl sized rings. Look at that tough face:) 

It was the perfect ending to a great season. I honestly had no idea how being on this team would turn out but it has been a fantastic learning and growing experience for Cade in his baseball career. We were blessed to get to hang with a great group of boys and parents and that made the season so much easier to adjust to our new team. I wouldn't trade the season for anything and I'm pretty sure Cade would agree! 

Beach Baseball

This year's family vacation was a lot different than our usual. We ended up in Destin with Cade's baseball team, MAD Mavericks, for a World Series tournament. Luckily game times worked out for us to actually spend some time at the beach having fun with teammates! 

Sister here had the best time ever.....mix baseball and the beach and she's a happy camper! 

I didn't get as much down time as normal but I did get to soak in a little sunshine and watch my castle builder. Can't beat that! 

 We rented a condo this go around and lucked out that there were several team members staying at the same place. The kids were having so much fun hanging on the beach. This really IS a great group of kids (and parents, too!). 

Some beach time.....now game time!
