Kyle's Tournament in Hemet -Take 2

Kyle's team lost the first game, but they played really great. Huge bummer... Kyle played 1st base and pitched. It was really hot, I felt a little guilty sitting under the umbrella drinking ice water when the boys were sweating out on the field. Hey, they're young and athletic, they can take it. Anyway, Nathan, Grammy, and I left after the first game and Grampy and Darrell stayed to watch the second game and they won 18-0!!! HOORAY! I understand Kyle did really well, but hurt a muscle in his abdomen when he slid into homebase! I'm sure he'll be okay, he gets so beat up playing ball. Now, get this, his game tomorrow is at 8:30 a.m. Hello...that means up and out of the house by 5:30 in the morning. Sorry God, we'll have to miss church again for baseball. I'll let you know how the game(s) go tomorrow. If we win, we keep playing. If they don't win it's a shame...but it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the...

**A side note totally unrelated, my Mom and I drove by Saddleback Church on the way home just as Obama and McCain were starting their big forum with Pastor Rick. Holy Moly, police cars EVERYWHERE on the toll road, at least 30 sharpshooters with rifles on the roof of the church and people and news vans galore. We had a chance to go, but decided to watch it on TV and save our $2,000 per ticket. By the way, Saddleback is a neat church and the kids programs are amazing!!!
