One of the players who thought Crew was so cute. He had just given him a ball.
Saturday was a dream come true for my boys. We were able to go to a meet the Chukars picnic at the ball field. This is our local pioneer league team and my boys are big fans. I really thought it would be lame and that a ton of people would be there, but boy was I wrong. There were only about 20 kids there and it was an amazingly fun afternoon. When we got there, all the players were walking over to the picnic area from the locker room. We were in line to get our lunch and then the announcer told us to find a picnic table and sit with the players. We sat with Devery. Devery Van De Keer is Colton and Cannon's favorite player. We go to a lot of games and Devery always chats with the boys after the game and always is so sweet to them. After the boys got done eating, they were able to go to every table and get every single player's autograph on the team. Colton had them sign his Chukars shirt. He was so excited to get all of their autograph's. At each table he would go to, he would ask them what position they played and where they were from. During this time, every table we went to the players were so obsessed with Crew. They would all rub his head and tell him how cute he was. The players were also obsessed with Cannon and Crew's names. They all said they wished their parents would have named them that. It was really funny. Then the kids got to go in the dugout and sit with the players and then they got to go into the locker room and find their favorite players locker. Then they got to go to the announcer booth and announce their favorite player's name over the loud speaker that goes throughout the stadium. It was such a fun day and the boys were so excited. Then that night, we went to the chukars baseball game and Devery had the boys come to the dugout and get sunflower seeds from him. Then after Devery hit a grand slam, he gave Colton his bat. It was an ending to a perfect dream filled day for the boys.

I love the story and pictures. It was a dream day for the boys. I am glad you have such a good friendship with Devriey. Neat memory and experience for the boys. Did you set up your Sunday dinner for him yet? That will be nice for him to have your home cooking. Love you sis!
What a dream come true for your little guys!! My boys and (Jared) would have loved every minute of that. Our family got really close to one of the Chukar pitchers last year and still keep in contact with him! It is such a cool experience for these little boys who love Baseball. And they are right, your boys all have great names.
That is awesome...truly a dream day and something they will always remember! What a great experience for your boys...especially for such sports-obsessed boys as yours!
That is awesome!! What a fun afternoon and evening!! I bet the boys were in their height of glory! That is so cool that those baseball players took the time to interact with the fans! Who wouldn't fall in love with your handsome (cute) boys!! I love them all, even Greg!!
That is so cool! I bet your boys loved every minute of it.
I was just trying to talk my husband in to going to a Chuckars game with me but he grew up going to Diamondbacks games so he thinks it will be lame! But after reading your post I am SO going to make him go with me. At least it's something fun and different to do and I bet your boys were DYING with all the attention from the players. So cute.
wow! You guys are such dedicated fans! and really you're going to have one over for Sunday dinner??! How cool is that?! How fun for your boys... G included!
So cute Emily! What a neat thing for your cute boys!
