2 day pass

there's no doubt this was a boy's weekend.

there was quite an abundance of baseball.

1 practice, 4 games and tryouts for yet another team.

oh, and there was also bbq.

we finally ordered our wings about 9:00 saturday night.

we came right home from dinner and most of us went to bed.

except miss bit who badly wanted to stay up for movie night.

i indulged her, but tried to convince her i wasn't asleep on the couch only just resting my eyes.

the thunder finally rocked us both to sleep.

coach dad was up with his star pitcher for an early morning tourney game on father's day.

miss bit and i lazed around in honor of the holiday.

she finished her movie and i finally finished my book.

sayonara kitchen confidential...restaurant eating will not ever be the same.
we packed up ooey, gooey butterfinger cookies and cold waters, and made it to the ballpark for most of the second game with spare time for a snow cone

the knights were down then catching up and then falling apart.

they were in good spirits nonetheless and the whole team of sons huddled together to cheer on their dads on this day.

we were all gratefully reminded of what exactly is important...
these boys are all winners who have scored some pretty terrific dads.
especially this one.

we made it to my dad's just in time to see my brother off for a week of travel and to feast on brats hot off the grill.

it was birdapalooza in their neck of the woods for our viewing pleasure.

the trees were dotted with many finches, blue jays, a scarlet tanager, orioles, an indigo bunting and a red headed woodpecker.

mosquitoes were still scarce and i only got a single bite.

t. bone vegged out watching baseball and golf in the house.

that is until grandpa inspired a little real life chipping contest.

cash walk was postponed until next visit, but miss bit traipsed the wooded trails with bodi faithfully flanking her side and that made her quite happy.

we were all happy to be enjoying the gloaming together.

then we made our way home at twilight.

the rest of the family is showered and already soundly sleeping.
it was surely one great father's day for two great dads.
