Getting in the swing of things

The boys haven't been able to golf all summer with baseball on their schedule. And after spending the day with them on the golf course, I can see why the two sports don't go hand in hand. Grant was able to ditch his baseball swing a little sooner than Mitch. We ended up in the wrong fairway a couple of times and dug up some dirt. The boys both ended hole #9 with great shots, so it was time to call it a day! Warming up before our tee time.

Scott continues to hit the ball long and straight. Really annoying coming from someone that can't hit the ball farther than my kids. What is the great pleasure in chasing a little white ball all over the place, anyways??

Getting a few pointers from Dad.

Finished. Scott turned his score in.......the other two.....not so much!

Lounging

This little guy was enjoying the rays on our back deck.

Winding down from Baseball

With baseball over for the season....well, summer ball anyway. Fall ball will start shortly.... Grant was able to play in the National Championship in the MAYB basketball league. It was a lot of fun to watch teams that play basketball all year round. A lot of the boys down there were taller than Scott! And these are 6th graders.

Scott found himself a job. Personally, I think he volunteers to get away from his loud wife in the stands.

This is how a team from Texas travels. They know how to do it right.

Pretty sure Mitch had more fun at the hotel.

Titan banner wins first place

At the opening ceremony on Sunday, the Titans banner won out of approximately 45 teams.

We did actually play ball..........

The boys played baseball 6 days straight, some days with more than one game a day. It was plenty warm in Colorado, but wasn't humid. Made it much easier to sit through.

White Water Rafting

Heading to Idaho Springs for a little White Water Rafting.

We ALL had a BLAST!!!!!

Colorado Springs

We were able to take an evening and go to Colorado Springs, CO. Scott had a buddy that lived there that he hadn't seen in over 20 years. They picked up like no time had past at all. Mark on his tippy toes so he "looks" a little taller!

Mark found an old photo album that they got a chuckle out of.

An old photo of Scott taking it to the hoop.

We had a great dinner and converstaion. The evenings there were chilly, so actually had to come inside to finish up.

We left about 9:30pm that evening.......this is what Mark woke up to at 2:30am digging in his trash can. He lives in town!!

Fire Fighter Memorial

We traveled to Colorado Springs to view the Fire Fighter Memorial. Scott and Christy's Uncle Gary was killed in the line of duty, and his name is on the wall.

Colorado Rockies Game

Mitch and his buddy, Nathan.

Grant and Aunt Christy.

Several of the team members and their families went to the Colorado Rockies game. The weather was perfect. No humidity!

Headed West

We traveled to Colorado to watch Grant's baseball team play in the AAYBA World Series. We were able to sqeeze in a few other activities in between games. We didn't have any games on Wednesday, so we headed up to Estes Park.

The boys had a blast letting these little critters eat out of their hands.

Mitch testing out the VERY cold water.

We ate at this great little Pizza joint. It is owned by a gentleman from Salina, KS.
