Take Me Out To The Ball Game....

Despite Mother Nature's best efforts, Andy and his guys were able to have a game last night. There was thunder and lightening around 3, and their game wasn't until 6. The lightening stopped, but the rain didn't. The guys played in the rain and wind - and played very well! I think that it was their best performance yet! :) The game was in Ord, so we didn't have that far to drive. We took two cars, because the Seniors game wasn't scheduled to begin until 8:30. (It was actually a little after that when the game finally started.)

All afternoon Alex kept looking out the windows and saying, "Daddy!" whenever car would drive by. So when we got to the game, Alex ran to see his Daddy. Because of the rain, we stayed in the covered dugout. I kept book for Andy, because there were always guys around to help keep Alex entertained while I did the book. Plus it gave Alex and Andy some time to hang out while the other team was at bat. :)

After a few innings of watching the guys, Alex had an idea.......




He kept pulling the helmet on and off of his head - and when he would lift it off, his triceps must not be strong enough yet because the helmet would go backwards. He would hang on, he just wasn't able to lift it. It was very funny. A few times he would put in on backwards and look at me through the little "vent holes" on the top. Silly guy! :)

It's even more baffling because when we go for a bike ride - he screams at the helmet - even when Mom and Dad are wearing theirs. Hats go about the same way (except for Grandpa's hats - he seems to want to wear those after a while). I don't get it, I only smile at him. :)
