The End of Summer Baseball
The last night we were in the state tournament proved to be a difficult one for more than one reason. We had a terrible storm that pushed games back and then some of the fields were flooded which pushed games even further back. By the time we did get to play, the boys had had it! They did well, but lost the game which put them out of the state tournament.
The Hottest Day of the Year
The hottest day of the year brought us out to the ball game at 10:30 in the morning. The boys were loving this state tournament thing because they were announced before each game and this morning they played the National Anthem!
State Tournament 2010 Begins
Opening Ceremonies State Tournament 2010
As part of the State Tournament, the boys were able to go to Pringles Park for their Opening Ceremonies. This park is for the Seattle Mariners' AA Minor League team, so needless to say, the boys thought they had arrived!
Remembering our Past
I love walking through the national cemetery at Shiloh. This time was even more special because the kids were working on the part for their junior ranger badge that dealt with the cemetery. They foudn graves of Confederate soldiers, drummer boys, one of the generals, etc. It was a chance to explain once again how many people gave their lives for our country. The kids are starting to really get it I think. They remembered the manners we should use while visiting and were telling new friends what all these people gave for our country.
