Baseball from January to July - Mom is in heaven!

So, in the State of Utah, we are not as fortunate as, I would venture to say, California, where you can practice outdoors all year round baseball. So for the past 4 years we have done Super League or Club league baseball. First with the Utah Rangers then the Riverton Rats and Stone has absolutely loved it - til this year..... No complaints about the game or the team or even the coaches it's been the WEATHER!!!!! Longest Winter on record here in Utah and we go tired of it really fast. Up until about June 10th we were bundled in blankets had hand warmers wherever we went to play, just in case, umbrellas and a change of shoes in the car. We had to travel down south to St. George to get some sunshine and warm weather and that still wasn't a guarantee this season. Stone has played many tournaments this year traveled to and from St George, Idaho, up and down the I15 more than I can count, had more rain outs this year, more cancelled delayed and postponed games on record, filled in on a couple of other teams for tournaments and finished June in Omaha, Nebraska at the Slumpbuster Tournament. The boy can't get enough and really it is never a fight when it's time from practice or another one of the 5 or 6 games he has in a usual week. The thing that killed him the most this year was going a full 10 days without a game or practice due to field and weather conditions. Wow, Stone just typing this makes me tired!
