We attended two Cardinal games in one week! On Monday Kristen and a special choir from her school sang "God Bless America" before the Cardinal game! We were ALL very excited and happy for her. Her teachers did a fabulous job and Kristen was featured on the JUMBO tron singing loudly and her dimple glowing ;-). (Yes I was super proud)!
During batting practice Kate got a ball!!
In the family pavilion, Wil threw a pitch 41 mph! Everyone was impressed as there were much bigger boys there throwing in the low 30s ;-).
Towards the end of the game, the center fielder went head first into the wall. It was very scary, but he turned out to be not permanently damaged.
Bushia came to the game with us to show her support for KJ and of course bought nachos and drinks for everyone! :)
Then on Wednesday, Kate and Wil's school won a Fred Bird Character counts award and the teachers and students received free tickets to the game! So Kate and Wil and I went to the game early (we took one of my students, Savannah too). 
Wil caught FOUR baseballs during batting practice! 
He was super excited! Evan Meek threw all of the balls to him and I have to say what a great guy he was as he specifically gave balls to many of the kids who were in right field and he was complimentary of Wil's manners and for Wil bringing his glove to the game!! Here is Wil with some of his classmates.
