Brady's Intermediates team party was held tonight at the home of one of his teammates.

Initially he planned to leave early so he could attend Youth Group with Isaac, but --mid-way through an impromptu and enthusiastic wiffle ball game in the street that gave off a classic "teen boys in the summer" vibe-- decided he'd rather stay at the party. So that's what he did. And based on how sweaty he was when he finally came home a few hours later, I'd say he had a good time.

Awesome stats aside, he really enjoyed being part of this team. It's a nice group of boys and they share a great sense of camaraderie that you don't always find on teams that are formed for a single season of play. 

They gelled. They had fun. They enjoyed each other's company. They won a bunch of games. They made my kiddo's life better. So for all of those big blessings, I'm grateful.
