Last weekend Angie and Skee invited everyone to the park for a baseball game. Right from the get go it was a momentous night. Everyone got in on the action...and I mean everyone, even Kristi and Leighton in their "baseball skirts". We had a blast!
Skee was so great at making sure everyone got to play and have fun. He made sure all the little kids got to hit, all the big kids got to hit, all the girls got to hit, and all the dads got to hit. Kristi, Leighton, Bostyn, and Matt the were the funnest to watch because they are usually the spectators but they all stepped up, put their fears on the plate, hit the ball, and ran the bases!
Grandma and Grandpa B were the cutest, Grandpa pitching to Grandma, giving her moral support, what a great example of a true gentleman. I think Grandma felt years younger running those bases like the "old days", she is quite the athlete.
Of course the boys had fun, they hit the ball, ran the bases, caught the ball, made key plays and such. Harley stepped up to the plate and crushed the ball, line drive after line drive, into the outfield. The "big boys" were a little bit jaw dropped at her mad skills. But the big event happened when Skee stepped up to bat, cracked a pop fly to left field. Todd picked up the ball as Skee was running to 3rd, Todd throws the ball to Harley at 3rd, Skee runs for home, Harley launches the ball to Bryan at home and gets Skee out. All grown men (except Skee) were VERY impressed at Harley's arm and ability to beat Skee home.

They played until it was too dark to see the ball...and promised to continue the game at a later date. Thanks Angie and Skee for setting up the game, and Happy Birthday Angie!!
