Marshall's Baseball

Marshall had his first baseball game on Monday night of this week! They played the other team from our town and lost, but they had a good time and Marshall had a really good hit! He only got to bat one time because we only played 4 innings and he is the last batter. He played catcher and did a great job! Last night we had our 2nd game and it started out with him getting hit in the thigh by the ball. He plays machine pitch, so the ball was coming in at a pretty good speed. He has a knot and a bruise on his thigh. He wanted to be moved immediately, so he spent the rest of the night in center field. He recovered and had two good hits! I love the summer time and baseball season!

Maggie is not playing ball this summer. She said she would just watch this summer....which is code for, she will just spend the summer playing at the various playgrounds during ballgames this summer!

Today is the last day of school, so the kids are super excited! The big school-is-almost-out extravaganza is over today and I'm glad! This time of year is SUPER busy, but things slow down a little when school finally lets out!

Morgan's First Baseball Game

Well, it's official, baseball season has begun! Last night, we travelled to Braymer for Morgan's first ballgame of the season. They lost 6-5, but they were behind up until the top of the last inning and tied it, but then the other team scored the winning run. They played a really good game and I think they will have a good season! Next week, Marshall has his first game and I'm sure it too will be exciting. But, for this week, we are just busy running to Morgan's ballgames!

Our first Royals game this season...

On the Friday before Morgan's birthday, we headed out with a group of 3 other families to take in our first Royal's game of the season. We generally get to the stadium about 2 times a year as a group. It was $1 night and Friday night fireworks, plus it was just a beautiful day. Morgan had planned to have some boys over to play, but we ended up taking that party on the road to Kauffman stadium. However, when we got there, the game was sold out! Talk about having some disappointed kids! So....amid much discussion, we headed to an indoor adventure park called Power Play. It's kind of like a Chuck E. Cheese on steroids! (Ha! Ha!) They have all kinds of video games as well as a play area for younger kids, miniature golf, bowling, and go karts! It was an awesome place! The kids had a blast and the night was pretty much redeemed!

I have pictures and will post them later. I can't seem to get my camera and my camera cord in the same location and the same time!
