Take Me Out to the Ball GAME!!!

Today was Opening Day for Junior Babe Ruth. As luck would have it, Stephanie had a game today at 2:00, so when Ethan's started at 3:00, Dad had to miss some of it. For his first time out on this field, he did fairly well. It seems surreal that he should even be old enough to play on the "Big Field" as it's known around town. The bottom picture is one I took with my camera in 3 frames. It automatically freezes a frame for you and after the 3rd shot it pastes them together. That was the only way I could get all the teams in. They were handing out awards to the 15 year olds from playing in National's this past summer.

Ethan's team won 11-1 against Medical Arts! They won by the 10 run rule. We stayed and watched the second game and KFC beat KWRT by the 10 run rule also, and I watched half of the last game where Potter Transport was winning over Carstar 5-0. The games shouldn't be so lopsided once the 15 year olds come back to play. Right now, they have won districs with High School ball and they're going to State. So they haven't practiced with the teams at all. Should be some closer games once they return.

Stephanie lost her game 5-3. She went with a friend afterwards to spend the night with her. I'm sure she's having a good time. And not having to spend the day at the ball park would thrill her to death.

The COUNTDOWN has begun! Only 4 more days of school left! Whew! This fall I'll have a 4th grader and an 8th grader! I haven't told Stephanie yet, but I took the day off work so I can go to all the last day activities. She'll have awards at 9:15, then they do something called Field Day at 10:15 (I think they just go outside to get out of the teachers hair ;) and get out at 1:00pm.

I'm going to try and post a video below. Don't shoot me if it doesn't work. It'll be my first time and the video isn't that great to begin with.
