The World Series

If you’ve been a blog reader of mine for any length of time, you’d know we spend a large part of July down at the beach.  This year things were a bit different since Ford was playing in the World Series during the Bar Convention.  While en route southward, we stopped by to see my 92 year old Grandmother.

 Then we stopped for the night in Laurel to crash with Dad and Patty.

 No trip to the beach is complete without stopping for lunch at Felix's in Mobile.  It's tradition.

 Even though we broke the trip up, I needed ear plugs!

 We checked into the Hilton for The Bar Convention and then headed 8 miles towards Destin for the opening ceremonies and pin trading.  It was only 8 miles, but 65 minutes with traffic!!!!!!!!

 Night one...the littles bunked together.

 Siblings entertaining themselves during the games.

 Ford played Wednesday-Saturday in two different locations.

 Rain delay = The Back Porch

 My man got to pitch some.  He did great!

 The last day of games we had a huge delay so they could work on the fields.  Since we had checked out of the Hilton we spent some time at The Track riding go carts and playing goofy golf.

Annie and I rode the go carts together.  She squealed the entire time about how fun it was!!!!!! 

The last day the boys played 4 games.  We won the first three and waited...

 They hit their knees to pray before the championship game.

 We came in second place.

 It was a long, long day!
