It was a little chilly at first but once the sun came out it started warming up. I tried to get some slow-motion video of Nico hitting the ball. You can check out the video at the end. I missed his big hit because I was trying to stop/restart the video when I realized I had it portrait instead of landscape.
Afterward, Papa took all of us to Jimmy John's. Thank you Pa! Believe it or not Nico only ate one sandwich. He ate so many snacks during the game itself that he wasn't as hungry as usual. It was such a fun time hanging out with Pa for a few hours!
After lunch we headed over to some church friends' house. Elizabeth and Matthew and their three kids. The four adults played board games while the kids played. They played SO well together, there was no yelling or arguing, and the neighbors even invited them over to run through sprinklers and jump on the trampoline.
In the evening we ordered pizza and then ate cake for dessert.
Nico had baseball practice on Monday and then another game on Thursday (tonight). Papa was able to come again and was actually helping out in the outfield to help coach the kids! He came back for sips of water between innings. We started out with our chairs in the full sun, but the temp was up to 82 degrees and it was hot in the sun, so I pulled my chair back to the shade. They played a good game and Nico got several hits.

Guy has band practice on Thursday nights so he wasn't able to make it to the game.
Nico and I went to the park last Friday to practice hitting and throwing and catching. We did that for about 10 minutes before he said he wanted to play with the other kids at the park, some he knew from school. They played 4 square and then dodgeball. It was hard to drag him away!
I made enchiladas this week, I hadn't made them for several years. Grandma Russell's recipe! Yummy!
So here's the video! The slow-mo is pretty cool, enjoy!
