Take me out to the ball game

Softball season has officially started. As much as I moaned and groaned about it last year, I'm sort of looking forward to it this year. Reason #1 - I don't cook dinner on game nights. Reason #2 - We get to hang out with great friends. Reason #3 - Sometimes you just need to sweat out the stress of life. Reason #4 - I don't have to cook dinner on game nights. Oh, I said that already? It's important enough to be mentioned twice.

How cute is this kid?! He was this tiny little baby last year and now he can climb and have fun with the rest of them!

Head first, Mom, here I come!

The "big kids" - since when is Kate a "big kid"?!?!

Elanor was going nuts!

Evelyn is watching her sister act very silly

Kate's just taking it all in

Brett is trying to be as silly as Elanor

"That slide is mine!"

You might be wondering why you don't see any pictures of guys playing softball. That's basically the least important part of game night. We race out of the house, grab dinner on the way, eat 2 bites of dinner on some nasty blankets that I forgot to wash the week before, then make a beeline for the playground until the dads come over to give us the play-by-play.
