eight hours of baseball

we had eight glorious hours of baseball today.  no overlapping games.  the sun was out.  it was awesome.  sam played his two games in the morning. he was an awesome 5-for-6, spraying line drives all over the field.  his only out was a shoestring catch by the centerfielder.  he was error free.

isaac played two games in the afternoon.  he also reached base every time.  two singles, hbp (yes, again), and two walks.  but his catching was what caught people's eye.  i had the grandpa of a kid on another team approach me and tell me that isaac was an amazing catcher.  he went on at great length about what he thought of isaac's catching abilities.  it was a super nice compliment. 

during the course of isaac's first game, he had his jewelry, shoes and bat all taken away.  no jewely allowed in the cal ripken games.  no metal cleats allowed in cal ripken games.  and his bat was a big barrell--not allowed.  craig had to give up his shoes so that isaac had some to wear.  it was funny to see him walking around the complext barefoot.

jake had a pizza delivered to his truck tonight up on bountiful boulevard.  something tells me that won't be the last time he and his friends do that.  craig happened to drive by at the right time and they gave him a piece.

caroline came home happy from her fun trip to washington, d.c.
