It has been a dream of Jason's to attend the NCAA College World Series in Omaha, NE. He has talked about it for our sixteen years together and we've never gone to it. This year, Grant's team signed up to be in a tournament in Omaha during the event so we thought we'd go to a game or two! Little did we know our own OSU Cowboys would make the tournament! They have improved as the season has continued and peaked at the right time! It was a trip full of baseball, friends, and a lot of orange/black and red/black!
Road trippin'!
we found some teammates!
We had great seats (in the shade!) on the third baseline!

Rosenblatt is the site of the former World Series stadium. This is a mini field located in the parking lot of the Omaha Zoo. The home plate is the actual location of the Rosenblatt home plate and the foul ball markers are still there, standing randomly in the parking lot as a reminder of the history made here!
This day was Father's Day. I'm not sure it was the best day for Jason as the boys were fussy and we ate where Grant wanted to as he wanted Olive Garden to fuel up on carbs for his tournament. Regardless of the success of this day for Jason, we hope he had a great trip fulfilling this dream. We love you and are so glad you are the daddy of this crew!
We all have coordinating sun hats now!
Day one of the Red Dirt tournament was cool and it rained for a bit!
Our boys did really well. We played teams from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois.
Monday evening provided us a 2 1/2 hour rain delay for OSU's second game. You can see how they put the radar on the jumbotron for everyone to see. We chose to shop and eat at this point!
We guess most of the locals gave up on the rain and headed home as the stadium wasn't full when the game finally started. The Morgans joined our seats and we hung out with friends during the game.
I find this funny as Grant and Kyle are on either side of Sean, not his own kids!
cotton candy makes every wait worthwhile! :)

Tuesday's Red Dirt games allowed my childhood friend, Meg, and her boys to come visit. It was a quick hour visit but great to catch up!
We came back to our room to discover we had no power which meant no air conditioning. After a day at the ball diamond, we wished for some A/C! The team decided to go to dinner together and we went to Cheesecake Factory.
Hotel wrestling!
Reid was able to sneak in a nap!
We let Reid sit and relax with her during this nearly miserable hot game!
My view driving home was pretty cute!
Reid is pretending he is a "real" baseball player.
