Two weeks ago, Adam and about 45 other students from his school sang the national anthem at a local baseball game. The students auditioned back in February, along with over 800 others, for the chance.

The kids had to be there early for a sound check. Afterwards Adam and I wandered around the ballpark.

He played some games, won a giant foam finger, and ate a soft pretzel.

It was so cool to see the students on the field and on the jumbotron.

In case you can’t pick Adam out of that crowd, I’ll give you a little help.

The game ended up getting called for rain after the first inning, so Annie didn’t have a chance to catch any foul balls.

The chance to sing the anthem was only open to students in 3rd-5th grades, so Maggie and Luke weren’t able to take part this time.

The kids didn’t seem to mind the rain cutting our day short (I think the ice cream helped).

I’m just glad it held off until after the anthem was over.
