Softball at 3 a.m.

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day here in the USA! I am thankful for our free country and for all of the men and women who are fighting and who have previously fought to keep it that way! My dad was a marine, love you dad! :)

We spent the day with Aaron’s family, swimming and eating grilled hot dogs. Yum! After this we went to a minor league baseball game (Tincaps represent!) that had fireworks after the game. I just love the fireworks! I feel that fireworks needs to be a much larger word because, well, fireworks are just awesome.

Something else awesome was at the game. It was a dog bat boy.

SO CUTE!
He also took the umpires water bottles in a basket. It was almost better than the upcoming fireworks.

Last weekend the hubbs had an all night softball tournament. Yep. The plan was to play softball. All. Night. Long.

This is an event that happens every summer during church softball season. The games start at about 9:00 Friday night and continue until mid morning Saturday. They are usually a lot of fun, but seriously when four in the morning hits those bleachers get awfully uncomfortable. Due to the freak storms that went through Indiana the power was knocked out at the ballpark. Actually like 40,000 people were without power in Fort Wayne from Friday to Wednesday because of it. Anyways, the park manager pushed the games that were supposed to start at nine back to begin at midnight when they could get generators to power up the fields. The park got the lights on early so games began at 11:00 p.m. After a few games the weather started to go down hill again, and the radar turned red. The players kept playing until we watched a police officer come tell the park owner everyone had to at least go get in there cars because another storm was coming, and fast. We all felt it! Sadly, shortly after this occurred we got a phone call saying the rest of the tournament was cancelled. :(

We had fun while it lasted!!

This weekend Aaron and I are driving up to MI to see me sister and her hubby! I am pumped to see her and not just because there is an IKEA five minutes from her house. I will be sad to miss my wonderful church, but we will be visiting Bridgett’s with them on Sunday!

Lots of pictures soon to come :)

<3 Brittany.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
