TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME

Celebrations for John continued into Sunday as the gang gathered at the Isotopes baseball park.

The Isotopes team is a triple-A affiliate of the Florida Marlins.

<----The mascot is Orbit.

It was a beautiful and warm day at the ballpark. We got to see the 'topes hit a grand slam, the opponents blow an infield fly, and a message of congrats on the announcement board for Johnny.

Pictured above are half of the family and friends that showed up at the ballpark.

Sam was there for his big brother's celebration.

Anna and Carolyn cuddle in the 80+ degree sunshine.



Mitchell and his Dodgers hat.

Albuquerque used to be home to an affliate of the Dodgers, but the Dukes moved to Portland in 2000 and were renamed the Beavers. In 2003 the Isotopes moved in to Albuquerque.

Johnny and his significant Maddi and another gal who graduated with Johnny but I don't remember her name.

We sure enjoy our baseball!

Maybe it's the thrill of a homerun, the sunshine pouring down, or the warmth of sharing the afternoon with loved ones. For whatever reason, baseball has been a part of my family since I can remember.

It turned out there was a double-header for us, but some of us had to catch a plane back to WA.

Before leaving the ballpark, it was important to me to get a picture with my Dad and brother. I sure love them and am so grateful to have been with them this weekend.

On the flight home Catherine and Stephanie catch up on some homework.

I tried to sleep the whole flight.
