2 games....4 days

Quincy's ball team had an interesting tournament.  Monday night, they played for about 2 minutes and then the game was called for lightening.  The make up game was for Tuesday night.   On Tuesday, there was an excessive heat warning.  They played at 6:45 and it was 104 when we went by the bank clock on the way to the game.  There was no breeze.  The heat index was 118.  I like the heat.  I love summer weather, but I would be lying if I said it was anything except miserable.   An aunt of one of the girls on the team brought a spray mister and kept the girls wet.  Harper and Saige begged to be misted too!   Quincy's team ended up winning which meant they had to go back on Wednesday night .

Wednesday night was beautiful.  It was 85 degrees and there was a really nice breeze and the sun was behind clouds so it wasn't sunny.  It was a gorgeous evening.  And so Quincy's team started in trying to beat Lyndon.  Quincy played really well, catching a pop fly, hitting a 3 run triple, and making a bunch of outs.  With 21 minutes left in the game, Quincy's team was losing by 3.  And then a storm blew in.  The game was suspended for lightening.

And so we went back to Carbondale once again tonight to play the last 21 minutes and pick up the game exactly as it was when the lightening ruined our evening.  

After all that, we have been at the ballpark 4 nights in a row for 2 games!  Quincy's team was not able to battle back and so they are now finished with ball season.  It was a great season, with a teaching coach, nice teammates, a lot of improvement and a bunch of fun!  

We will be sad to give up our ballpark evenings and concession stand snacks!

I heard good things from the New York crew.  They are taking in all the sights I can think of!  Sounds like a great time 

Cameron had his sports physical today.  He had to get a shot.  He was not a happy camper!  Good news....he survived!   On the way home I ran over the biggest rattle snake I have ever seen. I don't think I killed it either since it slithered away.   Cameron was mad that I wouldn't let him out of the car so he could stone it to death....he wanted the rattles!  Gee, what a terrible mother I am.  

Cameron bought Quincy a morph suit for her birthday.  She can't wait until the next time we have friends over because she will kick butt in hide and seek!
