Parade and Opening Ceremonies

Yesterday we had practice at 9:00am, batting for 30 minutes and fielding for 1 hour. After that, we had lunch and got ready to go to the parade. When we got to the parade, it started raining!  We were soaked before the parade even started!  There were thousands of people lining the sidewalks of Williamsport and we threw candy to them throughout the parade.  It was lots of fun and was enjoyable!
Today was the Opening Ceremonies. During the ceremony each nationality was represented by a player and a coach to say the Little League pledge in their language.  I was chosen to recite the pledge in English for all the US teams.  I was super nervous but it was real easy. After the ceremony, Japan and the Caribbean played the opening game.  Japan won 7-0.  Below is a picture of me at the podium saying the pledge.
