My friend is the pool manager this summer. Last week, she asked if our kids might help out at their lifeguard training by pretending to be drowning victims.
Because she was willing to pay them in ice cream, they readily agreed. I think it was a good lesson for them too. They learned how some of the equipment they see around the pool works.
Cameron and Colin have been umpiring a lot this summer. I don't know that I would say they enjoyed it, but they did have a lot of funny stories. Cameron did a good job during the tournament tonight. He couldn't umpire the championship game though, because Preston was playing.
Preston had a pretty good game. His team ended up beating the Carbondale team by 1. That was amazing.
We are very proud of these boys and loved watching them this summer. A lot of talent and great coaching, as well as a team full of boys who get along well made the summer fun.
To me, though, by far the coolest part of the night was when the Carbondale team came over and congratulated the Overbrook team and they hugged each other and asked for pictures together. These boys all go to school together and are friends. It was an amazing show of sportsmanship and friendship. I am proud to know all of them.
Preston is sad this season is over. Playing ball with 2 of his best buds was awesome.
Not only are they tournament champions, they also got metals for being 2nd in the league. Great job boys!
