Redneck Baseball

Saturday evening after all the visitors left my bro-in-law and brother took the older boys outside to expend some energy! I walked out on the back porch(for some reason unknown at this moment) and saw the funnest little baseball game ever being played. Sis#2 happened to be right there and said she had to go get the camera.

They had floor mats from the back seat of a truck and back door mats off the porch for bases. My brother was pitching. Bro-in-law #3 was catching. Bro-in-law #2 was outfield, Papa was on first base, and Sis#4 was out there too. Hoss, Buzz, and Little Joe were batting. All of them had on their boots and hats. What a picture!!! I guess one of the boys had picked up the plastic bat and ball off our Uncle and Aunt's porch on the way by. They all had so much fun!

Sis#2 and I went out for a little bit and got our turn to bat. My feet were hurting from the days activities so I had taken off my shoes and had on flip flops. Not so good for me to try to run the little bases in. Once I tried to run home and took a little nose dive. That hurt!!

Apparantly, my brother decided to throw a Nolan Ryan fastball at Buzz and got him on the chest. Thankfully he was ok! Good thing it was a plastic ball and my brother's really not Nolan Ryan!!! Sis got a picture of it for evidence though. I think she might be thinking of pressing charges.

The boys were getting use to the base running thing. One time Hoss was a baserunner and he went after the ball to try and get the batter out. Oops! They all had so much fun. I think the grown up's had more than the kids!

I left before it was over. After my little tumble I wasn't feeling so hot! Next time I'll leave the flip flops in the house!!!
