Wyatt had a hard choice to make this summer; whether to play soccer or fall ball. Eley and I explained the choices to him and told him he had a few days to decide. I really expected him to play soccer. He talked about soccer throughout the year. But much to my surprise, he chose baseball. Fall ball consisted of four Saturdays playing two games, and then a tournament on the fifth Saturday. Most of his baseball team was the same as the

| He played in the outfield most of the time, and wasn't very happy about it. We tried to explain to him that as he got older, that's where all the action was. He was used to playing in the infield, and got bored sometimes out there. But most teams we played had some good hitters to give them a bit of action. |

He almost caught it!
It was a pretty fun day, overall. We woke up about halfway through the first game, and won the second. That trend stayed with us until the last weekend before the tournament. There was just something about that first game that didn't work well with us!
Finally the weekend of the tournament came. We played awful during the first game. We had never lost a game by so many runs. I thought we would be going home after the second game. But, as was obviously the norm, we came alive. We played three games straight, and won them all! We lucked out and had a break before the championship game. We had a chance to eat a snack and relax.
He and his best friend Turner were chilling out on a sleeping bag, while the adults were listening to the Razorback game. We ended up playing the team that had beaten us first thing that morning, but we had beaten them in our 4th game. We felt pretty confident, but you never know. We ended up winning! The boys were soooo excited. It was such a great day. York Gary Fall ball champs!!

He was one happy boy, and we were one tired family! I have never been so glad to eat at McDonalds so late at night! Overall, it was a great experience and I don't thing he regretted his decision!
