Grand slam

June 17, 2010
Rather than mow the lawn like Jeff had intended to do tonight, Pearl talked him into taking us to the Salt Lake Bees baseball game. It was a good thing we went too because it's not everyday you see Darryl Strawberry hit a grand slam. Yes, that's right Darryl Strawberry, former baseball star. At least that's what Pearl believes she saw at the game, well any baseball game for that matter. She was pumped to go to the baseball game after calling Jeff earlier in the afternoon to ask him if we could "go to Salt Lake to watch Darryl Strawberry play baseball." Or maybe it was knowing she could get a tub of butter-slathered popcorn to chow down at the game that was the real reason for her excitement. How she comes up with this stuff I have no idea but what Dad can say no to a kid who loves sports at least as much as he does? Even Cole had a good time at the game, which was a miracle considering this week has been really, really hard with him and we seriously debated even going because we feared he'd just scream the whole time. Everyone kept staring at him and commenting about his hair... he totally stole the show from Darryl's appearance. So even though the lawn is still about a foot tall, getting out of the house together as a family was definitely a grand slam!
