Game Day

The major activity of yesterday was the boys baseball game. They were picked up by their coach at 11:45 and the game started at 1:15 PM. We arrived a little late for the game - 1:30 - as we had to stop at the store to pick up a couple of Gatorade's and some "ranch" seeds for the boys. By the time we arrived, the score was 1-0 ( Naperville, the boys' team) and that turned out to be the final score. They beat the first place and previously undefeated team for their first win of the season. Brandon pitched the shutout and was dominant the whole game. Jordan played shortstop for their team. I did get a few shots of the game. This one is of Brandon pitching and Jordan playing shortstop (to the right of Brandon):

They are a big part of the team.

It was a fantastic day to do anything outside - sunny and 73 - and we enjoyed the game and watching the boys play.

We came home following the game and watched the Kentucky Derby. It didn't have the drama that last year's race had, but it is always exciting to watch. It has a special meaning to us now that we have been to Churchill Downs and can better appreciate the history of this race. It was a three horse race all the way with the favored American Pharoah winning by one length.

Our final day of our stay is today and we have no activities planned. It is a free day, and the boys can do pretty much anything they want. We will be ready to drive them someplace if they need a ride. The week has sped by and we are expecting Patty and Mark to arrive home tonight - very late. Our flight isn't until 11:30 tomorrow AM, so we don't expect to be rushed.

Finally, a shot of Oakley sadly missing Mom and Dad:
