Baseball, Passover, Hike and the Dog Park

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We had a full weekend this weekend.  It started out with a semi-relaxed morning yesterday morning, and then what felt like non-stop after that.

Evan and I left the house around 11am to go to his games. It was a one-day tournament.  In the first game, Evan played third base the whole game.  He made two very nice plays.  On one play there was a hard hit line drive to his left.  He dove and came down with the ball.  You could see the ball sticking out of his glove a bit. Later in the game, he back-handed a ball going down the line and threw across the diamond to get the out.  Unfortunately, they lost that game.

In the second game, Evan caught the whole game.  He picked off a runner who had gotten to far from third in the first inning.  He also should have thrown a runner out stealing both second and third but in both instances, the fielder made a mistake putting the tag down.  He really played well at catcher.  Again, it was unfortunate but the team last.  Also the games ran long which made us late for the Seder.

We got to the Seder about an hour late.  I don't think the actual Seder started too much before we got there.  Maybe 15-20 minutes.  Noah took over the job of "God" from me.  I had done it the last three years.  Last year, we introduced "God, Jr." played by Noah.  This year he moved up.  This part requires answering Papa talking about the plagues he's going to do to the Egyptians.  Noah did a really good job.

Evan and Noah had a good time playing with their cousins, Nolan and Court.

This morning we got up and got going early to take Chewie to Emma Long Park.  There is a 3-mile leash-less hike there.  We got there at 10:30 but the park had already closed due to capacity.  We found a spot along the side of the road, and tried to walk through the woods to bypass the blockade.  Unfortunately, there was a barbed wire fence that prevented us from getting across.  Nevertheless, Chewie liked that hike.

From there, we went to Auditorium Shores.  We let Chewie run around and go swimming.  He seemed a bit worn out from the previous hike.  We stayed there for a while and then walked across the river to eat ice cream sandwiches at a placed called Baked Bear.

After that, we drove to Grandma and Papa's for the boys to finish the cleanup process in the backyard.

We rested at home for about 2 hours before we left, picked up Grandma and Papa and went to Lupe Tortilla for dinner.

We're home now and the boys are relaxing some.

Until next time...
