Jacob was selected to play on the All-Star team for his baseball league. What an incredible honor! Saturday and today were the games and they only lost once. Their loss was to a travel TEAM. Interesting how they made it into our All-Star tournament. They were the only team with coordinated uniforms and specific positions. Doesn't sound like they should have been there, does it? Here are some pics from the event.
So, in addition to watching my son play ball, I was able to spend some time with my in-laws. During one of the games, I was sitting next to Greg's mom, and she had her feet up on the chair in front of her. The lady next to us asked me a question, and this was the ensuing conversation:
Lady: Do you want the other chair so you can put your feet up like your mom?
Me: No thanks. I am alright. (not wanting to point out that she was not my mom)
pause...pause
Greg's mom: We're not related. She'd just my daughter-in-law.
Me: (stunned) But I am her favorite daughter-in-law.
Greg's mom: She's my only daughter-in-law.
Lady: So, she IS your favorite daughter-in-law!!
Greg's mom: mouth shut - couldn't day anything.
Interesting to know that I'm not related to my mother-in-law. Then why is she called my mother-in-law? Weird.
So that was Saturday, when it was hot, sticky, a little windy - just enough wind to blow up the dust from the very dry field - and make us very dirty. Today, Sunday, it was beautiful for the first game (which my whole family [in-laws excluded] attended), then it poured and poured for the second game. It rained the entire time and stopped as soon as the game was over.
