Gehrig with his Grandma Carole and Grandpa Jerry!
We were so sad that Daddy had to miss his opening day, but lately Chris has been having such a crazy work schedule!
After his obligatory photo shoot, he headed over to the dugout with his team to get ready! He was so happy to score the #4 jersey. You can't be named after Lou Gehrig and not wear the #4 jersey!!!
All set, waiting with his team in the dugout.
Colin was all set to go, too! 
Hmmmm, when is this thing going to start????
Guess I will take some ground balls while I wait.
Gehrig's biggest fans and cheering section.
The Marlins were the first team to take the field! The announcer introduced the team and called each player out by name. The head of the association gave them a high-five and handed them their official Little League pin.
After receiving his pin. He looks so proud.
Marlins on three! ONE!!!! TWO!!!!! THREE ........
MARLINS!!!!
Taking a knee in the outfield to enjoy the rest of the ceremony. They were the first team called, so they had a long wait out there.
Gehrig was chosen as the T-Ball representative to say the Little League Pledge.
Look who was able to show up!! DADDY!!!
One group shot!!
After enjoying the free hot dogs at the stadium, the Marlins headed out to the outfield to take team and individual pictures.
What a good looking little team!
Of course, I made Gehrig pose for one more!
Thank you so much to Grandma Joan, Grandpa Dub, Grandma Carole, and Grandpa Jerry for sharing in this special day with us! I know that it meant so much to Gehrig to have you here! We love you!
TO MY HANDSOME LITTLE PRINCE!!
Colin was in the first group to go with all the little kids. It was first time he participated in a real egg hunt, but he had a lot of pracitice and coaching from his big brother at home ahead of time.
He liked to inspect each one and check out what was inside before he put them in his basket...makes for a slow hunt, but he had a good time!
Gehrig's turn...Gerhig was in the 4 and older group!
On your mak....Get set....
I didn't get too many of Gehrig because he was too quick!
The boys after the hunt...as you can see, Colin has already started to enjoy some of his loot!
I am just including this picture so that you can see how TERRIBLY windy it was that day! We were supposed to have a bouncey house, but we decided that it wasnt such a good idea!
They had a prize drawing. Colin picked a puzzle and sidewalk chalk.
And Gehrig picked a frisbee and sidewalk chalk!
EGG HUNT #2
Colin's decorated Easter bag
After decorating their bags and leaving them on the table, they went out into the childrens' section of the library to hunt for eggs. Colin only found one, but he was fine with that
He would rather look at the fish anyway!
When they finished the hunt and got back to the room they found that a little surprise treat had been left in their bags. Of course, it was none other than......CANDY!!!
After waiting in line so patiently, he finally "claimed" his cupcake by sticking his finger in the frosting! That's one way to make sure you get what you want!
Waiting is so hard!
I got a few shots of Colin, but it was such total mass chaos, that I didnt even see Gehrig go (Chris had his eyeballs on him though).
The hunt literally took less than a minute!
I wanted to get a cute picture of the two of them, but all I could get was the tops of their heads because they couldnt resist checking out their eggs. Inside they found plastic animals, animal tatoos, jelly bracelets, tops, and, yes, MORE CANDY!
As we sat their enjoy the beautiful day, a reporter from the Clovis New Journal came by and interviewed Gehrig. She said that the interview would be on their website that evening, but we have yet to find it.
For some reason, I can see a career with the microphone in his future.
