We officially have a star in the family! On top of that, he's looking to have quite the arm when it comes to pitching!
Thursday night, we attended our first Hot Rods game of the season. Nick, Heath's nephew (mine, too!) threw out the first pitch before the game. Everyone was in the crowd to cheer him on! We met aunt Stacy and PawPaw there. Ali and Chris were already on the field with him, and Nick's dad's side of the family was there to root him on, too!
We didn't get close enough to get an up-close shot. He's in the gray shirt next to the guy in the black shirt closest to the mound. He really hurled it in there, only letting it bounce once before it reached the catcher. Pretty good for a five year-old!
After Nick threw out the first pitch, we made our way up to one of the suites (yes!) to watch the game. Ali had bid on the chance to throw out a pitch and enjoy the game from a suite box at a silent auction for Nick's school. She won and invited the whole family to come watch. The boys were excited to watch some baseball, but first thing's first - they were hungry.
After eating and watching a few innings, we were visited by Roscoe the Grease Monkey. Cash doesn't mind Roscoe, and obviously Nick doesn't either. They were excited. On the other hand, B was trying to get as far away from him as he could.
The boys had a great time. They watch the game for awhile, holding their pretend bats and swinging at the pitches. Then they would run around the suite box or the three rows of seats outside. Heath and I enjoyed the game and loved being able to catch up with his family.
Closer to the end of the game, Chris helped all three of the boys practice catching popcorn in their mouths. I'm not sure any of them caught any, the floor was covered, but they loved it.
Cash especially cackled at each attempt.
B doesn't even like popcorn, but was trying his darndest to catch them just like the big boys.
