But it appears as if we have over looked a huge way to "Go Green". Did you know:

What started out as a way to get some extra at bats soon turned into a week to week friendly competition. Griffin, Sam and Jeremy all played together this past fall on my team and went into the hitting league as a team of three. The object is to hit ten hits per inning and get the most points by the end of the game.

We went with Pat & Charlie Ronan. Charlie plays in the majors division for Four County Little League. On the drive up there, it did not look good as the rain started to fall. When we arrived we found a great parking space in someone's back yard. $5.00 all day...you can't beat that.

The FCLL Minor League All Stars competed in their final game last night. They took on Brunswick Little League Minors All Stars. After an hour delay to repair the field from severe rain earlier in the evening, the game began.

I guess that is because week to week it has been baseball, baseball, baseball. I guess you could say our life has been consumed with baseball. Griffin has played over 25 games this season between his regular games and his travel games. At age 8 (league age) this is alot of games.Griffin was selected for the 2009 Four County Little League All Star Jim Gillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01490949352253587733noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005862652897550642.post-26490129315896220062009-05-07T20:42:00.003-04:002009-05-07T20:46:31.569-04:00Rember this photo?

For those who don't know, he plays "in house" Little League baseball during the week and on Saturdays. On Sundays he has an opportunity to play competitive games with a select group of kids from Four County Little League.

It was awsome. The room was filled with hundreds of energetic teenagers. Matt was on fire with his words and music. Kenny & Kemi both remembered Griffin and I from last years visit to the mount.

I was surprised that there were only about 20 people there. This was a great opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
