Baseball season for us is about February to July with regular season teams then All Stars. In 2019, Thatcher was on the GVSLL Royals and the Pony Rangers. Both teams had a fairly good run with great friends and nice coaches.

Jack and Thatcher otherwise known as Thunder and Lightening were the dynamic duo on the Royals.
Thatch always had this guy when he had no one to play with. 😂
He loves baseball this much. 🤣

We'd have to warn restaurants in advance.

Can Todd get any closer?! 🤣
Thatcher was the closing pitcher for both All Star teams. He didn't seem to be affected by the sometimes nerve-wracking spot. (It is very nerve-wracking as a parent).
Post-game celebration for ice cream.
Th Pony team continued to play even after securing the championship spot.
I practiced a lot of french braids on Sam.
More team lunches.
More Palm Garden Hotel.
And not one sibling friend for Sam. She was a trooper last season!
