8U Rangers Spirit Night

Last night Jase's baseball league had a Spirit Night {aka Fundraiser for the local high school} at the varsity high school game. We decided to make it a family outing, so everyone was in attendance. Due to bad weather last weekend, all of the opening day festivities and games were canceled, so it was nice to see all the teams together to kick off the season last night. Before it officially began, Jase tried his arm against the radar gun. It was super loud, so Jase wasn't sure if he said 37 or 47 mph. Watch our future pitcher! ;-)

Last year about this time, Jase's allergies kicked in. It's hard to remember how long they lasted, but they definitely bothered him, but we were able to keep them at bay for the most part. When we moved up here this past fall his allergies were bad for a week or so. Watery and itchy eyes, sneezing; he was pretty uncomfortable. Originally we thought it was Hank being inside, but later realized it was another allergic reaction to the weather. Pollen {and other allergens} have been really high lately and have been eating his lunch over the past week or so. We have tried a few remedies, but nothing seems to be preventing or curing the problem. Some days are worse than others and last night at the ball field was a really bad night. Poor guy. He could not stop rubbing his eyes and they were bulging out of his head. We have a doctor's appointment on Friday to see what she says.

Watching Jase in the "standing room only" section. I'm glad Ally brought her new sticker activity.

We only stayed for an inning or so and then packed up and headed home. At least that's what the kids thought. We made a pit stop and the kids were oh so happy. Baskin Robbins, baby!

After ordering, I sat down and said that I should have ordered a small, instead of a medium. Once the little kids finished their ice cream, they came ice cream hunting to see who had what left! Both Finn and Ally loved my chocolate malt! I'm glad I ordered that medium to share!

 

Last baseball season, Jase's team, the Rangers, won 1st place in their division and even ended up going to the state tournament. After watching a scrimmage or two, I'm not so sure of the same outcome this year. Win or lose, we'll be there to cheer Jase on!
