Big Weekend and Evan's Birthday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

On Thursday night, Grandmom flew in.  Friday the boys didn't have school.  Noah had a playdate.  Before that, we went to Wholy Bagel.  For dinner, we met Matt, Rachael, Max, Tristian, and Maddie at Phil's Ice House.  It was a nice time.

Yesterday the Bucs had a one-day tournament.  Evan and I left the house at 7am and stopped at the bank and then went to Donut Taco Palace.  We got to the fields at 8.  The first game was at night.  In the first game, after one inning we were winning 3-2.  We broke it open in the bottom of the second with 4 runs.  Evan came in to pitch the third inning.  He walked the first batter he faced, then struck the next two batters out and got a weak grounder to end the inning.  He got the first batter out in the fourth, walked the second batter and then got the next two out to end the inning.  The Bucs ended up winning the game.

We had a bit of a break and played the second game.  This one wasn't as close.  The Bucs took this one easily.  Evan walked several times and stole several bases.  He played catcher for most of the game.  He did well.  By going 2-0 in a one-day tournament, the Bucs were assured of a spot in the championship.

We had a bit of a break and played the championship.  After the first inning, we were winning 3-0.  In the top of the second, we broke it open with 20 runs.  That's right, 2-0.  After we had batted around, we stopped having the kids steal.  We never took more than one base on any hit, even if the ball rolled to the wall.  The other team just got down and they started making really bad mistakes.  It was tough.  We tried to be good winners.  After the game, the boys from the other team were smiling and the Bucs got gold championship rings.  The boys were really happy.  Evan asked to play another game.  We didn't get home until 7:05 pm, twelve hours from when we left the house.

Today was Evan's Birthday.  He wanted to go to Top Golf, so we went there for brunch.  Evan was even better than when we went on Noah's Birthday.  He scored a 106, increasing his score by nearly 33%.  From there we went to Rita's because we had a free Rita's water ice coupon for Evan. Evan really wanted to go there.

We stayed home in the afternoon, though Noah went to a friend's for a easter egg hunt.  Then we went to Rudy's for dinner.  Evan enjoyed the brisket.  He wanted to go to TCBY for dessert.

The boys are in their beds now.

Until next time...
