We started off early this morning around 6am. The seven and eight year old boys traveling team played in a tournament in Geneva today. It's was great! I love having boys and playing sports. It will be even better next year. I will have two playing. I may rethink that this time next year!!! Jesse has done great this year in coach pitch and I am so thankful that he was given the opportunity to play on the traveling team. We were the Braves. Let me just add, we were the only team in the tournament that did not have a shirt on with our home town. The Opp girls were there and had on Opp shirts, but we had to be referred to as the "Braves". Yes, we got tons of questions about why we didn't have Opp shirts on. Nevertheless, we represented our home town proudly!
We played in the first game at 8am, yes that is in the A.M.! So, we were one of the first teams there. I do not think we were completely awake yet, because we didn't do so hot. Our coach that normally pitches for us was not there for our first game so we will just blame it on that! He did show up for our other games and we were much improved. We had to wait from 9 till we played again at 1:30. We had lots of fun under the shade tree and all the tents, remembering old times and realizing just how old we are getting! We had it together for our next game and pulled off a great win against Hartford I believe. We then got another break before Geneva at 3:30. Still, another good win. It was close and you know there is nothing worse than your child getting up to bat with two outs and the winning run on the base! Jesse had a GREAT hit and the winning run scored. It's so cute, because with all the excitement Jesse was a little confused as to what was going on!!! Let me add that doing this game it was pouring rain. We turned right around and played again and Headland managed to pull it off. It was a well fought game, but somebody had to lose.
I then took my boys and Wyatt to McDonalds to eat. They were starving and trust me they were! I could not buy them enough chicken nuggets!!! We then drove home with plans for Wyatt to spend the night with Jesse, but about Samson they decided they were tired and after fightin it fell asleep. They were so so tired!!
Wyatt ended up staying with his mom. I told them we could do it another night when they weren't so tired. Well, the boys are asleep now and I'm trying to wind down a little and what better way to do that then to blog!!!
We are not sure yet if we will be playing next week or not, due to vacation bible school this week at several of the churches. We hopefully will find something out on Tuesday at practice. If we play this week it will be in Slocomb and will be Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday if we win.
So, I just want to say way to go boys! Yall, done a great job and we are so proud of you. Yes, you know I have to post some pics!!!!
