Baseball

 Jace played fast pitch baseball this year for the Texas Rangers in the Babe Ruth League.  Jace absolutely loves to play baseball.  Jace was one of the pitchers for his team and surprisingly was pretty good at it.  He also played first base and short stop.  He really wanted to be the catcher, not sure why, probably because they get to wear all the cool gear.

 About half way through the season we got a phone call asking if Jace wanted to be on a traveling team.  One of the big tournaments he went to was right here in Vernal.  We were camping the weekend of the Tournament but Jace was able to make a couple of the games on Saturday.

 Since we were camping close by town, Grandma and Grandpa Watkins, Abby and Joslynn got to come see one of Jace's games.

 At the end of the season we got another phone call letting us know that Jace made the Vernal All Star team.  On the All Star team he pitched and played 3rd base.  Jace even got a picture of him pitching in the local papers.  He was way excited about that and carried that paper with him to show everyone.

 The other two boys spent a lot of time at the ballpark "watching" Jace play, while living off of concession food and candy.
