Opening Day

Opening day for the township's t-ball/softball/baseball leagues, April 4 2009. It was really cold and windy that morning but we went anyway. Here are some pictures of Gabby with her team.

She was in good spirits and feeling pretty goofy even though it was freezing cold. Her friend Isabel (behind her in the white sweater) had the right idea though. Huddle for warmth!

The team had their picture taken with the Chick-Fil-a mascot and got a little cow to take home.

After standing around for a while, a really looong while, the parade finally got underway. The township had a middleschool marching band head it up. The poor trombonist kept losing his music. You can hear me calling Alan a nerd for memorizing all his marching band music. Haha. Sorry Alan. I remember times when we didn't have to and I didn't if it wasn't required.

And here they are passing us by in the parade.

It was so cold, we tried to find a place to stand that blocked the wind but we just couldn't. Alan ended up taking Samantha and Katherine to the car after Gabby passed by. They waited there while I retrieved Gabby at the end of the parade. I stayed for a little bit of the ceremony but because the ground was soaked from rain the previous day, they didn't have any microphones set up. You couldn't hear a single thing. They didn't even have a megaphone to use. So Gabby and I left before the ceremonies were through. I don't think we missed anything.
