More Baseball and Some Softball

Nothing like loading up in the car on a Thursday and heading to beautiful Okanogan, the land of the cheaters for some league baseball action. Rock started at catcher and played well.

Manson played the should-be-in-class-1A Bulldogs tight, but had a rough inning and lost. The game ended when Rock fouled a pitch off his ankle, but neither ump wanted to continue umping and called it a fair ball. It swelled up pretty good and quick.

I like having babies in the office, they complain less than most of my patients.

Jensley had her first high school softball game and was pretty excited and nervous.

I cooked hot dogs from centerfield so that I could watch both games. She started at 3B and looked like a baller.

Dave and Lisa tried to surprise us by driving up Friday night and Saturday morning. Unfortunately, Lisa forgot to turn off friend finder and DeA was checking on Ryker's late night gallivanting and wondered why were Mom would be in Wasco, OR and driving north at 10pm and the surprised was ruined. We didn't tell the kids so Rock was surprised while playing 2B to hear his Grandpa Dave yelling at him.

Rock had a great double header with a 4-6 day and multiple RBIs.

Jens pitching an inning and threw a lot of strikes and gave up some cheap hits.

Jens made sure to teach Mama Zista and DeA the new dance moves.

We got a text from Rissa asking for help finding their brand new piglets. We looked for about an hour but couldn't find any trace of them. Max was a little dejected, he sat in the dirt saying "Dad tells me to shut the gate, but then he didn't shut the gate but he tells me to shut the gate but..."

I went over to Mom and Dad's to help Mom make gravy for family dinner when we got word that the piglets were spotted an orchard up the hill. We mustered a posse, jumped in the Schoenwald van and mobilized. It was an adventure to be sure, I have a mark on my forehead from a tree branch and scratches up my leg from the barbed wire, but Andrew was able to snag the first one and the other one was pushed back to the pen. It was a fun and successful old-fashioned pig roundup.

Leo liked the extra attention.
