BEAUTIFUL BABY and BONUS BALLGAMES

The main reason for a trip to Oregon last weekend was to see our newest grandchild, Ella, who is number 21. This is probably the last one, but we've said that before. ;0)


But we were entertained by both of her brothers playing baseball on Saturday...two games each.


Austin's team has "coach pitching"...and there's Rich (an assistant coach) throwing the ball to the batter on his team.

Now here's Austin and Rich playing the field. Austin did have a couple of really good hits.

These guys had a lot of spectators besides their parents and grandparents and siblings...a couple of aunts and a few cousins.

Redden's team is a little more advanced, and he's a great player.

At bat...

Running to first...

On 3rd, ready to steal home.

Oops, stealing didn't work, so he slides back into third.

Now warming up with dad to pitch next inning.

He throws the pitch...strike!!!

After the game...so who's totally beat?

Here's the cousins, going out for treats later. Look at those adorable kids...how can a grandma not love 'em?

This was a great day for everyone.
