I love this picture of him on the field lined up with the players for the National Anthem
Just Chillin during the game
Colton and his friend Jaden
Our friend Devery arranged for Colton and Colton's friend Jaden to be the bat boy for the Chukars baseball team last night at the game. As we were driving to the ballpark, Colton said, "This is the best night of my entire life." I laughed because he has experienced so much already and to him this was the best. We got to the stadium and he was able to go in the Chukars locker room and change into a Chukars uniform. They even gave him a new hat and ball he was able to keep. He was able to help get the Gatorade ready and make sure the dugout was stocked with sunflower seeds and bubble gum before the game started. During the game, Colton had to be paying close attention because the umpire would tell him how many balls to bring out to him or if he needed a drink brought out to him. He had to use the bathroom a few times during the game and when Greg or I would take him, he said he was having so much fun. Colton's eyes were pretty big during the game watching from the dugout. After the game, he had to help sweep and clean up the dugout, dump the Gatorade, and take everything back into the locker room. This was a pretty special experience for him especially to be able to bat boy while our friend Devery was playing. Greg and I were able to sit right next to the dugout last night and watch Colton closely the whole time. He was having the time of his life. I am glad he was able to have this experience.
