Caleb and Owen were great at the game. The weather was ideal and the Aeros won. What more could we ask? Well, we could ask that the King and His Court, a campy comedy act playing mock softball with local amateur players, not be inserted between the real ballgame and the fireworks — a 40 MINUTE long yawn! At 10:30 PM, we decided to head to the car and watch fireworks from the street. The sound was a bit much for Owen, but he recovered fully during the 10 minute drive home. Now we’re hoping they can sleep fast (tomorrow’s only about 20 minutes away). We all had a great time.

Caleb’s first season of tee-ball has produced a junior slugger.   Swing-away!

Bob sent these pictures of Zach’s really big day at Progressive Field. 5 year old Zach:

• sat front row behind the dugout
• was tossed a ball during the game — from Asdrubal Cabrera
• was given a hot dog by one of the girls tossing them into the stands
• was given Jhonny Peralta’s batting gloves at the end of the game — by Peralta (last on deck) as he returned to the dugout.

A real day to remember, even though the home team lost.
