Opening Day 2011

Sing with me! "Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd, Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don't care if I never get back, Let me root, root, root for the..." Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Athletics... At least that's what I'll be singing for the next several weeks.

Today was opening day for the boys' baseball teams.  They were pumped and ready to go! The weather was not exactly cooperative, although Samuel and Seth did get to play. Samuel has dreamed of playing catcher for a few years now and finally has the skills for the position. He played very well today, even from my unbiased opinion, of course.

Chances are if Seth is awake, he is thinking about baseball!  He uses cushions from the couch to make bases and has imaginary games nearly every day.  In his mind, he plays every position--even the play-by-play announcer! In real life, he played first base today. 

We were all disappointed when Zachary's game was called off due to the stormy weather. I missed his scrimmage game last weekend and have yet to see him pitch, though I'm told he's doing great (and not only by him). The milkshake from Truett's seemed to ease some of the pain, though.

So, if you're looking for us, sometime between now and the middle of June, check the ball park first, chances are we'll be there...root, root, rooting for our "home" teams!
