Weekends are for....

BASEBALL

I love it I caught the ball in action.

The weather forecast said there would be rain in the late afternoon BUT they were wrong...imagine that. We sat in the rain to watch Connor play baseball. They won their first one against the Trojans. They played great. They lost their second one to the Muskies. That was on Saturday, so we they had to be back to the ballpark at 9:00a.m. for Bracket play.

Connor napping ; )

The first game, Sunday morning, was tolerable, weather wise. The boys played great and had the best triple play EVER. They won, against the Jr. Cardinals. They got a short break, and during the time the wind picked up, and the temperature dropped and it was FREEZING out.


Jack on third!

I have to admit I only stayed for 2 innings and had to come home. They were playing the Bulldogs, which were the second seed. After I got home and warmed up, Luke called and said "Mom, they won". So, then it was on to another game against the Eastern Iowa Styx, which is a 13U Major team and they pulled it off, and won. So, they were off to the championship game against the Muskies who beat them the day before 12-1. They lost to them 8-4.

These boys deserve a big pat on the back. They were at that ball field from 9a.m. to 7p.m. in freezing cold weather conditions. They are believing in themselves, and battled all day long. To the players who didn't get to play but battled through the elements, and supported their team, thank you. You are appreciated!!!

I hope it warms up soon for you. We are having record high's - 93 yesterday and it is supposed to be 96 today. It feels good - but if out heat starts this early we are in trouble. My weekend was for working in the yard and trying to get the pool ready - it still seems weird not to have games to go to.
