I Love Baseball......

Last weekend my son's baseball team played in a tournament. The weather was a little iffy, but the weather man said most likely the storms would be in after midnight. So, we all were looking forward to the hour drive and watching some good baseball. As soon as we walked in the park there started a light drizzle. Ok, it wasn't bad and there was no lightning around so we could just suck it up and play ball. 2:00 was our first game and then the rain came at a much steadier pace. It still wasn't bad, but I start to notice all the parents are all under the covers and the only ones out are our poor boys. I didn't feel quite bad for them yet, only because I know how boys are and they would give anything to play in the rain and on top of that they are playing baseball. Suddenly dark, luminous clouds were approaching and we started to think that maybe the game would not get a chance to finish out. I pulled out my nifty new phone and pulled up the weather radar. Well, we were definitely in for it. All the parents kept looking around just waiting to see the first lightning strike. As the game progressed, we all noticed that there was no more rain and all of a sudden those stormy looking clouds had some how gone around the entire ball park. I had made the comment that God must have put a bubble over the park so the boys could finish this game. One of the fathers heard what I said and he also made the comment that if it was God why are we still losing. LOL!!! I thought, "good point". Anyway, we were able to finish the first game and even take a small break and start a new game. Before the 3rd inning even hit the lightning started up and rain came pouring down. Then the game was called. You may have heard about the Cowboys practice stadium collapse, well, this was the same storm.

I've added a picture of the boys after the game was called. We all sought refuge inside the snack bar area. I couldn't leave without getting a picture of the dirty little boys. They all looked so cute, but wouldn't have it any other way. While the picture is not well taken(also taken from my new nifty phone). I'm still learning how to use it and there was so much going on at this time I'm surprised I was able to get all the boys in without being interrupted from everyone else.
