Happy Opening Day for Western Little League-Las Vegas!
The season has started and we had so much fun today! So many things have made this day extra special! 1-Hudsen is our first baby which makes for our First Tball game as parents. 2-Tim played for Western Little League-Lubbock, TX and Hudsen plays for Western Little League-Las Vegas, NV. 3-King (Bompa) and Tim both have the same little league patch that Hudsen has on his shirt sleeve. 4-Bompa helps coach Hudsen's team!
Tim made the comment when he walked up to the fields this morning that this was nothing like his opening days! They had a raffle, silent auction, games and blowup slides, obstacle courses and a really good concession stand! Hudsen had so much fun on the slides and Nolen didn't want any part of them! At 11:30am, they began to gather up all the teams for the parade and opening ceremony that started at 12:00! There was lots of talking, first pitches and pictures. Then they opened up the games and slides until the first games that started at 3:30! Luckily we only live about 7 minutes from the fields so we all came to our house and had hamburgers and hot dogs! We watched a little college baseball and then headed back to the fields for our first game!! Now I have heard stories about the first tball game and I have to say that this was one of the best "first" tball games I have seen! They played 3 full innings and the kids had a lot of fun!
It was a full day of going, going and going and we had fun! The boys did not nap and were outside playing all day but they did finally give out at 8:30 for Nolen and 9 for Hudsen! I have looked forward to this day for a long time and it was wonderful! Here is to many, many more ballgames for The Watts Family!!!
