The B word...

Baseball.

The B word.

What were you thinking I meant?

Yes, baseball has been the ONLY word this summer.

I think we counted close to 40 baseball games that we have sat through

that Kidlet Three's team played this summer. 

Here are a few B word memories from this summer.

Great teaching and encouragement from the coaches...

receiving a first Mohawk haircut in the Omaha hotel parking lot....

tailgating under the stars in the parking lot of another hotel after a late baseball game...

eating almost every meal this summer in a restaurant...

Tournament weekends.  Play a game...wait for a game...play a game...and wait....

making new friends...

diving for the baseball to turn a great play....

Deal or No Deal complete with suitcases...

celebrating victories...

showing good sportsmanship...

having a team poster...

cheering with Kidlet One and Son-In-Law...

wearing matching team tee shirts to most of the games and that not being "weird"...

and the ever-favorite Before-The-Game-Chant...

Baseball...I am going to miss that word I think...
