Blueberry Baseball

No, we didn't play baseball using blueberries! :)  During our Blueberry Festival they have a c-league baseball tourney that all the teams compete it. It is very official even with brackets based on how you finished regualr season, etc.  We spent the ENTIRE labor day weekend at the ball field!   The tourney was double elimination and they lost their 2nd game, but went on to beat our two biggest rivals and earn a spot in the championship game!  Way to go DQ Phillies!  The kids were exhausted and played so hard.  So proud of them all.  We finished 3rd in the regular season and the boys got a trophy for that.
Unfortunately we lost in the championship game, but we were so proud of our kids. They had only 20 minutes between their last two games but played their hearts out and did a great job!  Here's the team for one last picture together.
And of course their huddle cheer of:  Who are we? DQ!  Who? DQ!  Who!  DQ!!!!

And of course we had to go to Dairy Queen ONE more time to finish off the season.  We went after every win during the regular season, so it was only fitting to go one last time!
Great job boys!  You had a great summer...Now it's off to football practice!
