One Day 'Til The Big Trip

Tomorrow, we start a six day Make-A-Wish trip to Orlando, Florida, for Andy (but we all get to go)! But that's tomorrow......today, it was baseball at the Kalamazoo Kings. Today was the first Kid's Club day where kids that are registered can get in an hour early and spend about a half hour with some of the players learning how to throw, field, and run. Andy and James are both in it this year, and they were able to team up on some of the drills.

Here are all the kids for today.

Learning to throw. Learning to run.
Learning to field grounders.
Playing catch.
And after that, the game. . . . . . where Andy figured out a way to keep his ball from getting lost.

(Check his hat very closely.)

We left in the bottom of the seventh, with the Kings up 16-3. It was a great game and a great day, and a great way to start a great week. I'll try to post some pics from Orlando. We'll be staying at Give Kids The World Village for the five nights, which could be an extreme vacation on its own (check out http://www.gktw.org/ ), but we get a three-day pass to Disney World, a two-day pass to Universal Studios, and a one-day pass to Sea World! Six days of excitement to squeeze into four days. It will be .......let me see, what's the word.........GREAT!
