They didnt let me down...

Tough Game tonight for Jake and his team. They have the hardest time beating this team, They were down 2-0 till the top of the 6th, then they scored three, bottom of the 6th , the other team scored 2( making it 4-3, other team) top of the 7th we score 4, leading 7-4 going into the bottom of the 7th,( only 7 innings in the game). even after a pitching change, we lost, giving up 4 runs... It was tough, Our pitcher should have been pulled sooner than he was, and the next one that went in, didnt have his game on tonight at all. It was pretty crappy all around, and the boys took it hard... Jake not so much, he knows you win some and lose some, but he was really wanting to win one off this team. We are still in 1st place ,with this team right behind us, Playoffs start on the 9th.
So today was a beautiful day , Sam and I played outside from 11:30 to 2:30, he played with his new sprinkler all day, he loves it, cause it shoots balls up.. as I was watching him play I wondered how long it would take before the other boys were hitting the balls that were shooting up out of the top. Well, Not long, Brett came home, and then Jake, and I went inside, I went out a bit later, and they were all soaked, And you guessed it, Hitting the balls when they would shot out the top, it was so typical of them, so predictable, And I loved that they didnt let me down.

There is nothing more fun than watching kids trying so hard and doing their very best at a sport...the excitement, the thrill, the yelling and that joy (or disappointment sometimes). It is so much fun watching kids learn good sportsmanship. Enjoy
