Take me out to the ball game....

What a baseball season Jackson had! This year Jackson played kid pitch on the Phillies. He was thrilled because the game was played with actual rules. It seems that in t-ball and coach pitch everyone wins...Jackson is not a big fan of that rule. Jackson was also thrilled because Todd was going to coach. Jackson's team practiced once a week and had two games a week. It was a lot of baseball, but it was so enjoyable. Aubrin loved going to games to see all of her friends. Many of the boys have siblings right around Aubrin's age. And of course Reagan (Aidan's sister) was there. The girls get along so well.

Throughout the season Jackson had many fans come and watch him play. He was always very excited to see special people in his life up in the stands. Grandma and Grandpa made it to every game except one. Grandpa even drove back from Chicago early one morning for a noon game.


Jackson's favorite positions to play were pitcher and catcher. He especially like to catch when his buddy Aidan was pitching. One highlight from Jackson's season is that he was picked to play in the All Star game with 5 of his teammates. He felt pretty proud to be the starting pitcher for the game. The Phillies won their regular season with a 12-2 record. They also won the end of the year tournament. They won the tournament in extra innings with the score  7-6. If I can be a bragging mom for a  minute~ Jackson scored the winning run in extra innings!!!! It was a great game.
