Game Cancelled

I finally am updating my blog....

So, as you know it is Baseball season. That means each and every day is filled with either a game, practice, a board meeting, or if we do have a free evening, we head to the batting cages. Ward's Dodgers are having a bit of a rough start this season so far. They have won only two games, but those wins were quite impressive. In both cases, they came back from behind to win in "extra innings". I finally learned that it's not called "overtime". Nick has had some fun successes, hitting a few doubles and triples so far. His private batting lessons are paying off (yike$$!!). So tonight, they were supposed to play a team that they were really wanting to beat. I show up at the park right after work and it is pouring down rain. The infield is a muddy, soupy mess, and the game is cancelled. Ward and Nick were so bummed out. I am thinking woohoo - an extra two hours! Sometimes I feel like a third wheel... "That's Baseball"!!

Tomorrow, Nick and his class are venturing to Warm Beach camp for 3 days. They are going to be learning about outdoor science, playing games, riding horses, swimming, and lots of other fun activities. I am so excited for him. This is his second camping trip that his class has gone on. Very cool!

And the latest....Last Saturday night, well technically Sunday morning, the phone rings. Expecting it to be Boeing, Ward answers the phone only to hear, "Is Nick there?" from a couple of girl classmates. Ward explains that he is sleeping. They say OK and hang up. Then they CALL BACK!!!! Ward explains what time it is (12:45 am) and the girls start in on "so and so told me to call...." giggle giggle. OMG.
