Hold on to your hats people. This blog is coming at you a day early. Tomorrow is going to be whirlwind of games, church, and a family gathering. If it doesn't happen today, it probably won't happen.
The highlight of the week came just today. After many years of playing baseball at what seems like every baseball field in Oregon and SW Washington, today we finally hit the jackpot. Today, we played our games at the home of the Hillsboro Hops, the farm team for the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was so awesome to watch Merrick throw his first pitches and get his first hits in a major league stadium. The games didn't go the way we hoped today, but it was still so fun to watch.
The awesomeness of the day was mostly lost on girls, but they got to have their fun too. I had learned about a new park over by the stadium this week and we decided that, despite the rain and cold of the day, we would check it out. Turns out that even with the rain and the cold, it was worth it. It was a very cool, all inclusive park that had giant wooden monkey sculpture that you climb inside, with climbing walls, ropes, and slides. We didn't stay too long, but before we could even make it to the car, the girls were asking when we could go back.
Tomorrow, it's back to the regular old stadiums, but today, today we played like the big boys.
