Walkers' Trail

 Our family has attended 21 baseball games in the past nine days between the NCAA College World Series in Omaha, Kyle's state tournament and Grant's state tournament. Omaha was a great experience - congrats to OSU for making it that far! Kyle enjoyed his season with the A's and had only hits on his last day of playing ball! Grant's team - well, they kicked their rears in gear at the perfect time to play excellent and brought home the State Championship to Stillwater! We are now home and I'm ready to clean my car!   Below are photos from the Red Dirt portion of our adventures. The boys played games over a four-day span, and came back from the loser's bracket to beat the team twice in the finals to win the USSSA Oklahoma 11u State championship!   Sibling support!   Addison, Berklee, Cora, Baylor and Reid. The Sandlot Crew   Bodey and Kyle  Grant and Chance were able to serve as captain's for the championship game....

This happened in Walmart!  We had so much to grab (including pillows which took up a lot of volume) and I decided to get two carts.  Kyle asked to "drive" the other cart.  This is the result:   Even in the moment, it was slightly funny.  The boxes of cereal kept falling like dominoes.   We've been able to swim a lot this year as both Julie and Kristy bought homes with a pool.  Here is one great view!   three amigos!

They said he loved it!   baseball with his bestie   Jason's goal of joined the country club has happened! He and the boys are pumped to be golfing across the street now.  ...

 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!   Game One Win team huddle   just hanging out with Garrett   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 pl...
