all stars

I spent the day on a small road trip to Stafford, Virginia with my family. We left about 8:45 this morning and drove the 90 minutes to watch an all star baseball game. Some friends of ours have an 8 year old boy on the team. My husband, the photographer, went to support A and take photos. Hopefully some of the families will look up the photos on his website and buy a few, but mostly we went to support A. The first game was fun to watch, 16-1 in favor of our team. The second game was even better to watch, and bite your fingernails, and as M says "feel that tingly feeling in my belly" of nervous happiness. This game we lost (I know, I had nothing to do with it, but I mean the team I went there to watch:) 7-6 after a few tied innings and great plays by both sides. It is a double elimination tournament so they play again tomorrow morning, I hope they rally and get to continue. It was fun to watch and I remembered how much I used to like watching baseball back in my college days. My girls were really well behaved and interested in the games. I taught M a little bit about what was going on out on the field. S found a friend from school whose big brother was on the team so she had a blast with her unexpected playdate. I was great weather for spending the day outside too! Go Greene All-Stars!!!!
