Last Game

I got a little more covering on the B-36 today!  While I was researching where the aluminum covering went, the girls showed up.

I was sitting on the porch while the girls brought me rocks.  Ava came and sat beside me at one point.  I made a suggestion that they fill the play dump truck they had with rocks.  They had a good time doing that.

Here is Harper headed home with the dump truck.  I did some more covering on the B-36 until it was time to head for James' game.  Since it was the last game of the year, the coach mixed things up and let kids play positions they did not normally play.

James did pretty good at catcher, he had not played that position for 4 or 5 years.  Some balls got by him because the lacing in his mitt was broken and the balls would pop right through.  The kid that pitched had a tough time, he had not pitched all year and  the other team was hitting good.  We were down by 8 when they took him out and down by 10 before the first inning was over.  James played first base and center field after the first inning since his mitt was broken.

James hitting a double, the ball is blurry, because it was getting late and the camera shutter had slowed down.

James' last slide of the season, safe at second.  They never could catch up after getting so far down in the first inning and lost the game.  James played well and made an awesome catch of a pop up right in front of the other team's dugout.   He also made a throw from center field to second to end an inning. It was one of the coldest games in a while, I was sure glad it did not rain.
