Baseball is Back

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan and Noah stayed over at Grandma and Papa's last night.  But Evan was asked to fill in for a baseball team at a tournament this weekend.  It was up in Georgetown which is about 45 minutes away with no traffic.  He had to be there at 8am.  I brought his uniform over this morning and he got dressed and were on the road by 7.  We stopped at Donut Taco Palace for the first time since the fall baseball season.

As a fill-in, Evan was relegated to right field for the entire day. That didn't stop him from making a few nice plays.  He caught a fly ball and then got in to the relay man to get the boy tagging from third for a double play.  He walked, stole second and third and scored and he hit a ball to the right side to move the runners up later in the first game.  In the second game, he had a couple good at-bats that didn't end up with him on base.  In the last inning he fielded a hard hit ball and threw to first to try to get the runner.  I actually thought he got the runner.  The two umpires were not actually watching the play.  One was focused on a runner coming home and the other was focused on a runner to second.  I guess they saw the ball go in the outfield and didn't think Evan would try to get the out at first.  We got home around 3pm.

Rachel went over to Grandma and Papa's.  They all played a game that Noah legitimately won.  It was a strategy game.

Shortly after I got home, Rachel left to go to a Team Survivor orientation.  It's a women's fitness program for cancer survivors.

The boys and I watched a documentary about Rocky and then walked to Grandma and Papa's.  Rachel met us over there and we all went to Pho Thai Son for dinner.

We're home now and the boys are in bed.

Until next time...
