Our Outlaw!

This summer we are a host family for a college age baseball player that is going to be playing baseball in our town this summer.  The team he is playing in is a developmental team for college players to keep up their skills so they can continue playing at a high level.  Our player Kyle hopes to play major league baseball someday!

He got to our house on Tuesday at about noon after flying all night from his home in Southern California!  We are in upstate NY so it was a looong flight for him!  He slept a little Tuesday afternoon and then got us and went to Brock's Little League game with us which was fun.  He was a celebrity down at the Little League field-ha ha!

 His parents raised him right, he is polite, kind and so sweet with Ava and Brock!   Ava is like his shadow and won't leave him alone.  She even showed him how she can jump on our trampoline.  Poor Kyle!

Kyle's first game as an Outlaw was on Thursday night.  Here are some pictures from the game.

Kyle signing autographs before the game.  Of couse Ava was right there with him the whole time-ha ha!

He is going to be with us until the beginning of August.  He has a game almost every day while he is here so we have a LOT of baseball games to attend this summer!

Have a good weekend!

I think it's cool you guys are hosting a player. They do the same think for the Marion Miners team.
