Did you know that there is a Grandparents Day?? Grandparents Day is celebrated the first Sunday after Labour Day, This year that makes it September 8th.
In 1970 Marion McQuade from West Virginia thought that people should make sure they visit their Grandparents – and she lobbied policy makers for years!
Then in 1978 – President Jimmy Carter Signed Grandparents Day into Law!
Grandparents are Awesome!
We hope that all the School Kids out there are all rested up and ready to head back to School!

Thanks Everybody for a Great Opening Day at Little Mountain Baseball! We sent out about 400 Balloons! (Half of which we drove over in the van and half which we blew up on the spot).
Only one of our Volunteers showed up 🙁 (Super Sai!) but we would like to thank those 3 kind strangers that jumped in and started filling balloons and tying them up – we were humbled by your kindness – and your super balloon tying skills!
We also had one sweet young girl send her red balloon skyward to send to her Grandpa 🙂
We know that LMB will have a great season – with all the dedicated coaches, parents and players (700 this year!)- it is a fantastic organization.
We also hope our team does well – the team we sponsored last team was exceptional and had a phenomenal season 🙂
Thanks everyone!
