The End of Summer's Week 2
We had an especially nice three days here at the Baublitz residence :-) On Friday, we had our baseball game and the boys were so much fun and played so well that all we could do was smile. Afterward, we were invited to Coach Jeff's house for dinner, where he and his wife grilled out and fed us steak and hamburgers and hot dogs, sweet potato fries and salad with watermelon for dessert. It was wonderful and we sat outside on a perfect June night and had adult conversation while the boys played upstairs. One really couldn't ask for a nicer evening.
Saturday morning was for cleaning and working on the computer while my husband worked, but by 12:30 we were headed back out the door for our last regular season baseball game and it too was a pleasure. The kids played very well and they got their trophies after the game. We have been so blessed with nice families and easy kids. Afterward, we all headed to Opies for ice cream, as is the tradition, and we got to hang out and talk to the parents while the boys ran around and played. From there, Brian and Dakota and I headed home to change and were back out the door by 5:45 for our concert at Pier Six in downtown Baltimore. It was again a perfect June night and we sat in our lawn chairs on the lawn and waited for the performers to begin. Our other son joined us after work and my husband's nephew and his wife and some friends joined us, as well. We listened to Jana Kramer first, then Rodney Atkins, and the headliner was Darius Rucker, one of mine and Brian's favorite performers since his Hootie and the Blowfish days. He is so smooth with such a great voice and he is just Mr. Cool. He put on a great show and the best part for me was knowing how much my husband was enjoying it.
Today was Father's Day and I had gotten two Oriole's tickets so Dakota could treat dad to a baseball game. First, though, he gave his dad the most thoughtful of gifts. Brian had been telling Dakota about a baseball card game he had played as a child and Dakota remembered and made the game up for his father and they played today, father telling son how it used to be and son telling father how it was going to be now lol. I left to run errands and they left for the game, which our other son was working at. I bought some great steaks and some fresh veggies and fruit, stopped at the thrift store and then came home to work until the game was over and it was time to cook dinner. The four of us and our daughter, Keri had a nice steak and pasta dinner with fresh corn on the cob and while dad took a well deserved cat nap, Dakota and I watched Thunderstruck on TV and then Brian and I watched Game Plan in the livingroom while Dakota watched it in his room. Now it's tiime for bed and tomorrow starts our first day of "summer camp". Summer really kicks into high gear now!
