20130531 - Up in am and in to work for a full fast day. Home and got D and headed to Camp Falling Rock where he is stuck for the weekend to go through his Scouts 'Order of the Arrow 'Ordeal''. It was raining so I helped him he registered and his tent set up, made sure he had his tarp and sleeping bag (all he could have for the night) to sleep outside, and then left him sanding . There were plenty o other scouts there so he will be fine... Drove away through the thunder storms and left my boy with strangers to be rained on all night. This is just topping off the day for him as his girlfriend dumped his through a text message earlier... Growing up sucks... Headed home, got brake pads and videos.

Storms came rolling through and I got the dreaded call that our baseball game was cancelled :-( This was to be our last game and I was disappointed and knew the boys would be too... So with a bit of cash left in the baseball budget we moved the game inside to Donatos and had a pizza party instead. I presented the two players that did not get a game ball during the season with one, and then the boys presented a shiny new baseball they had all signed to their hard working and faithful Bat Boy. G smiled so big it must have hurt his face :-) The boys went around and told their favorite play and part of the season and had a great time!
