Local Bat Boy turns 10!

Xavier turned 10 on July 25th, and for his birthday, I was able to secure him a spot as Bat Boy for the Humbodlt Crabs (baseball team for those who don't know this). He was one happy little booger! Before we got there, he was telling me how nervous he was, but he knows a lot of the players from being at Crabs Baseball camp twice this year.  Well, as you can see from the pictures he had an amazing time! It was a double-header, starting at 5:30. The second game was only supposed to go 7 innings, but it was tied 2-2 at the bottom of the 7th inning, so the Crabs had to keep playing. It finally ended at about 12:30 AM on Thursday morning!! (Crabs lost, boo hoo) Xavier was having such a fabulous time, he didn't want to give up his bat boy privileges, and since this WAS my gift to him, I didn't feel he had to! WOW, my little man is growing up! Not sure how we'll top this next year!!
