Play Ball!

Mothers Day Tournament

This past weekend was filled with so many beautiful moments celebrating moms, grandmas, godmothers…it was truly action packed!  One of my most precious moments was taking the field with my son.  Its been such a great rookie baseball season with my 6-year-old son, not only because it was grand seeing him learn the sport and evolve as a player, but we have an amazing group of families that make up our team.  From the coaches to the team mom, this crew is special.  To top off the season, the team mom coordinated a “Mother Son Tournament” against the other team “Red Sox” and their moms.  Such a creative idea, I had to share to encourage other moms to join in!   Here is my play-by-play on how to get your game up and running…
