Colton's First Game and Elephants Too (Day 20)

I missed Day 20. I had to work in the morning, but right after work, Colton had a game at 11:00. On defense, Cody made a nice throw to Colton at 3rd base, and Colton tagged the kid out. That brought out a rousing smattering of applause from the fairly large crowd. When he pitched in the 3rd inning, he struck out the first batter he faced. The next batter hit the ball into the ground which made a large hop. Colton caught the hop and threw the kid out at first. The next batter hit a liner to first. Just like that, the inning was over. The next inning, he had a bit more trouble, but only let in one or two runs. It was fun to watch the kids do well and win the game 14-8.

Later that night, Gabrielle needed a gift for birthday party she was going to on Sunday afternoon, so at around 8:00 at night, we all made a trip to Meijer. I let the kids pick out something to buy and Colton picked out the movie Zathura and a book. Gabrielle picked out a Bratz doll, but once she saw Colton's book, she wanted one instead. That's great. Let them pick out something, and they choose something to read. I picked out a book too. I was looking for something Christian related, but instead, a lone copy of "Water for Elephants" sat on top of another totally unrelated book. Nick, the salesman I send out our gages to at work, highly recommended this book. I picked it up and it's very good so far.
