Little Valley Ball field

There are moments in your life you will always remember, the feeling sticks with you forever, the sounds and smells. You can close your eyes and you are there again just like it was yesterday. You can go back but it's never the same, never as good as your memory.

I hope this place will stick in my kids fond memories of their childhood, this place has been our home away from home for years, this season we were here at least 4 days a week between games and practices. We had to set up the fields and take them down every Tuesday and Thursday as part of our job being Commissioner, everyone helped even little Sophie, she would pick up the baseballs, Hunter and Brielle helped wheel the machine pitches and extension cords, and our easy Callaway stayed in his stroller happy as can be.

We had family games with our friends and family on warm Sunday nights, practiced in the freezing cold and heat, cheered each other on and gave each other support, lots of talks and life lessons, and most importantly just having fun together. The red dirt and white chalk that covered everything, the snow cones that stained our mouths and clothes, shoes that always seemed to disappear in the playground, and snacks that covered the ground in front of us.

Win or lose, it was about being a team, always trying your best, and being TOUGH LIKE BULL :)
