Take me out to the ballgame...


Again and again.
Our weekend was filled with some ballgames, some cleaning,  and some relaxing (finally got to use my pedicure gift certificate from my birthday- yay!)  Parker had a ballgame Saturday morning and we had a Mother/ Son event from school at the Charlotte Knights on Sunday.  All these ballgame experiences reminded me of how much time I spent at some kind of ball field as a kid...or a teenager...or maybe forever. When you have lots of (talented:) brothers and a family that likes baseball, that's what you do.  Definitely have some good memories of smelling hot dogs, cheering for our team, and at some points being the kind of dirty you can only be after playing around that good ol' red baseball dirt! 

Here is Parker rounding 3rd base. He was the last batter this week which in t-ball means you get to run the whole way around the bases every time....which means Parker doesn't have to remember when to run and he can just go for it!




Tinley is ready to join the team...



And can't wait to get out there and enjoy some of that great dirt!



Walking off the field with his girl...which will only be his sister for a short time...so I will capture it as long as possible.



The Mother/Son event was not looking too promising with the weather :( but we'd already paid so we took off hoping for a break in the rain. We carpooled with Parker's friend, Carter and his mom. We figured at least the boys could have a good time one way or another!


Which they were ready to do with their umbrellas. We met this peacock outside. I think he was with the tv station...not really sure but very friendly.


But our hoping was not without results...when we sat down...the rain took a break! We were thankful for this little blessing in our day. 


We met "Homer" the mascot who signed our new Knights shirt.


Found some time to play (notice the dogs in the background...it was also "bark in the park" so people brought out their dogs all dressed up for the game...entertaining as well)


And finished up the game with the kids getting to run the bases. Didn't have my good camera and had a hard time capturing...but so cute!



But all good ballgames come to an end...and so do good weekends....Off to work we go!
