Thanks for the photos!

The picture of Drew dumping water on his grandpa is priceless. I
couldn't figure out who the two boys were wearing NMV All Star
hats...I figured out shortly that we must have donated them to a
team...pretty cool. The picture of the boys giving their game jerseys
to the team from the championship was great as well. I'm sure that is
a moment the boys will NEVER forget!

Only a few more days left...I'm looking forward to all the stories.

Sorry for the confusion on the NMV All Star hats - here's some
additional details.

As the players lined up to start the game, we wished each other luck,
and gave them pins and the NMV All Star hats. When the Lithuanian
team took the field, every player was wearing the new hat "except" for
the pitcher. We were a little confused so we asked for an
explanation. The boys treasured the hat so much that he did not want
to sweat on it - so when he went to another position after he was done
pitching, he put on his new hat (and the new pitcher replaced his with
his old hat).

The Lithuanian team players (as well as the coach) continued to wear
their new hats on and off the field, for the remainder of the
tournament.

Pretty cool story.
