Our weekend was exciting and enjoyable. It started with working Friday at Ichthus and a storm that ended our day and cancelled the events for Friday evening including the championship little league game. Saturday started off with a visit by Margaret Jenkins who rode up with Melissa who came to pick up Tyler. It ws really good to see her.
The afternoon was spent at the ball park. We had a picnic and awards before the big game. Jerod received the Most Improved Player award for our team. We played the Athletics for the tournament championship. We got off to good start. Jerod and Blake both hit well. Things seemed well in hand until the fourth inning when the Athletics had a big rally. It was pretty anxious. Jerod made three errors. It is usually a reliable fielder but it happens. He was really devastated and inconsolable. In the top of the fifth, we got into a two out rally which has become a regular thing with the Rangers. With two runners on, Jerod came up to bat. He swung and missed the first pitch. The next pitch he drove the ball into deep left center field for a home run. It was amazing. We went on to win the game 13-8. That was better than Tiger Woods’ final round performance in the Open.
Saturday evening we went to Ichthus and enjoyed worship with 20,000 +/-. In addition to music by Matt Maher, David Crowder Band and Casting Crowns, Jon Weece spoke and we celebrated communion together led by J.D. Walt. It was quite an experience.
Sunday we went canoeing with the Crocketts as a Father’s Day treat. It was a really great time. It was a memorable father’s day for me. I am so proud of all my children. It was good to hear from each of them.
Here are some pictures from the weekend:
