game's over-- now it's party time!!!

after the game on saturday, the red sox and their parents all gathered at spiro's restaurant for an end of the season party and awards presentation! the kids all had a great time feasting on their pizza and cupcakes and the medals they received were pretty cool! coach gary presented the medals and had a special little something he said for each kid! he said gabe had made vast improvements over the season and his ability to consistently hit into outfield towards the end of the season was wonderful. coach gary and coach wayson were both very sad that gabe would only be around for one more season--but that kansas was getting back one heck of a ball player!!! i told them maybe he would come back and play for the university of washington!! that made coach gary smile! (he is employed by the university of washington!!!) they said they would watch for his name! what a super compliment! they also presented the official unofficial red sox scorekeeper with a starbucks gift card! i felt kind of bad taking it -- after all i ended up sort of enjoying my little duty!! although we complained a little about the weather, we had a wonderful time watching gabe and the red sox during their season--it will be nice to have our weekends back though!! for now--soccer is right around the corner and i think we will have two little fellas playing, yep it's just beginning!!!
