I know I’ve been out of the loop this week because I have been enjoying all the breaking of spring. We have already slept late, survived the time change and just generally relaxed.
On Monday morning Caroline and I made our way to College Station to meet up with Gulley and the boys. And last night we had tickets to go watch the Aggies play the Longhorns at Olsen Field.
The kids aren’t big fans of the camera these days, but I managed to get this picture of them right before the game began.
And I felt like this gorgeous (almost maroon) sunset was a sign that God was on our side.
The Aggies appeared to have the game well in hand going into the ninth inning. We were up 4-0 and so Gulley and I folded up our blankets and got ready to head out. Except the Longhorns rallied and came back to tie the game up 4-4 at the top of the ninth. Which THE STRESS. ALL THE STRESS.
All I could think was that I dearly love Aggie baseball but I really didn’t want to sit out in the grass through sixteen innings of a tie ballgame because I had lost all feeling in my bottom sometime around the fifth inning. However, that didn’t happen because our catcher, Michael Barash, came up to bat and hit a walk off homerun to win the game.
Even better, the kids got to get their picture taken with him after the game.
So I think it’s safe to assume that our Spring Break has been a success thus far.
