Baseball Game (Tuesday)

We had a beautiful day here today, close to 90, a little breezy in the morning but windier in the afternoon.  Joe took Rachael and Cathy to town for breakfast and a grocery store stop.  Dixie made brownies and cooked up some chicken, and I made a big batch of chicken/rice burritos.  You never know who is going to stop by, so it's good to fix a lot.  Jaclyn called with information on Jayden's baseball game, so we decided to spend the night at the ball park.  Even Grandma went.  And we had our own cheering section in the stands.

This is the 5-8 year olds.  Jayden is No. 10.  He had a good night.  He got a hit his first time at bat, and got on first base.  His second at-bat, he got a hit but got thrown out at first, but he got an RBI out of that one.


Here's Mom, anxiously watching.
I don't think Adalyn was quite as much into it as her mom, especially after she found a hoppy toad in the sand.


They got behind 4-1, but a late rally in the 5th and 6th innings gave them a win, 8-6.  It was pretty windy here, but those little hard-shelled gnats were out in full force so we all spent some time batting.

We didn't eat dinner before the game, so we hurried home and put together our chicken burritos.  Adam and Jaclyn stopped by with the kids, and we enjoyed a nice visit with them.  Jayden found a baby bird on the ground that both he and Adalyn were fascinated by, and they played with Cathy's dog.  Dixie asked Adalyn if they called her "Adie" at school.  Adalyn responded, "no, they call me "bossy."  Obviously, she's got the Froeschke gene!

The card game didn't start until 10:30.  Both Lucille and I sat out this one, since they had 6 without us.  She headed upstairs to bed, and I went out to the RV to bed.  These late nights are hard on us old folks.
