Fear The Pinch!

Yesterday was Dulles Little League's Opening Day. This occasion is marked with a team parade from St. Theresa's to Crittenden Park, an opening ceremony with first pitch, and a "Fun Fest" which includes many moon bounces. The parade was great. Our only girl player, Carly, and her mom made this awesome banner with the kids faces as the BlueClaw face:

And I spent a few nights this week making these BlueClaw props for the kids to carry. They had blue glitter paint outlining the shape--I told Carly that I used the glitter for her! I didn't march with them, but another parent told me that the claws were a big hit with the crowd. Nobody else had props!

And finally, here's our player. Up a tree. And note, no games have been played, yet the knees of the pants are wrecked.
