All Star Game

The All Star game was today and our fam was so excited! 

They introduced each player over the loud speaker in their batting order.

"Batting third, #32 Jackson Hays!"

Jackson played a new position for most of the game.  We found out he's a darn good second baseman!

He was all ready to knock it out of the park.  No homers today, but he did good.

Did I mention that it was 100 degrees today?!  We were burning up!  We tried to keep Lila under Gigi's big umbrella, but sweet girl was still pouring with sweat. 

The heat was tough, but the East All Stars prevailed with a big win over the West All Stars. 
The final was 24-13.  A decisive victory!  Each boy got a medal...

then they all lined up for a team picture. Jackson is third from the right--it's hard to tell because he's wearing eye black and sunglasses, along with the hat. 

We have had so much fun cheering him on this season.  For his final game he had all four grandparents, two uncles, one aunt-to-be, and us four.  That's pretty cool.  We love you, J!
