QCHS Baseball opening day!

So tonight was opening day for the new turf field for baseball. (Apparently other sports can play on this too but I'm not sure that will truly happen.) 

I had planned on attending to see the first game just because I love baseball, but... little did I know that RJ said he would play his mellophone during the 5th inning stretch. Wait, what? He did not take warm clothes this morning and after his tennis match was already freezing... good thing I had extra layers in my car that he could wear. Thank goodness also I grabbed handwarmers! 

It was a nice ceremony and although the team lost, it was a cool atmosphere and Macen pitched well in his two innings. 

Super Busy Saturday!

What a long but fun and fast paced day!!

RJ did IT!!!!!

I am so excited and happy for RJ!  

Check out this video!

For this league RJ gets 5 tries at the machine pitch then moves to a T to hit the ball from.
My heart about melted when on his fifth chance he made connection!!

RJ...and the batting cages!

He tried!  He really tried!!  He did not give up!  I am proud of him!

And I didn't get it on tape (of course) but he DID hit ONE!!!!  One is better than none!  Good job Bubba!!

Pigs - let's go!

This afternoon we got an offer for free tickets to the Iron Pigs.  I was still working on cleaning up from the beach, but we jumped on it.  Spontaneous - let's go!

Kiddos had fun.  It as on the patio in left field.  It included an all you can eat/drink (non-alcoholic) buffet.  It was free soccer ball give-away night too!  RJ had a couple meltdowns but overall did not become out.of.control.  Morgan and RJ got autographs from the mascots and enjoyed some cinnamon pretzel sticks.  Late night getting home, but it was a worth it!

 

 RJ... add some personality!

Practicing Baseball!

The kiddos and Daddy were practicing baseball today!  Little chilly but having fun!
