This past weekend was spent traveling again for Jake's baseball. It was over in Rock Island, IL which only about an hour and a half from here, so the drive wasn't too bad. However, the heat was.
As parents, are we nuts to sit out in upper 90 degree heat, with no shade, for two days from early in the morning to late in the afternoon was watch a bunch of 9 year olds play ball? Maybe so, but dang, it's so much stinkin' fun. All of the teams were very talented and were all very good. Great competition and lots of close and evenly matched games.
We finished 3rd place out of 9 teams. As parents, we were all very proud of how we played. A lot of the boys were somewhat disappointed as they wanted to win the entire tournament.
Next weekend is a local tournament, then the last weekend in June is the state tournament in Des Moines which will complete our season. I'm getting sad already.
