I took a few pictures of the Mid-MO Stars yesterday and then did some editing today. So far, I think my favorite is the black and white version.
Team Picture
Championship Sunday
There are moments in your life that stay with you forever. Twenty years after that one moment, you still remember it like it was yesterday. Tonight was one of those moments for John. The Mid-MO Stars never gave up! They were up 7-2 at one point against the Southwest Missouri Wolves and could have fallen completely apart after the Wolves made their way back. However, they did what they do best. They just dug deep. In extra innings, John scored from second on a single to take the lead back and then he caught the final two outs in the bottom of the inning to ensure the win.
What a team. There is not enough that can be said about the culture that has been built. They live it. They breathe it. They believe it.
Congratulations to the Mid-MO Stars on Championship #1 of the 2022 season! The Wolves are one helluva team, but you did not let them intimidate you. I don’t think anyone will have to tell you to remember tonight. It’s THAT moment. It’s YOUR moment. Way to getcha some, boys!
A Day of Baseball
The Mid-MO Stars had the early game today. They gave us a scare, but they managed to dig deep and come back from a 3-7 deficit to tie the game, putting them in the AAA Championship Bracket.
Since we were done at the ballfield by 11:00 am, we decided a trip to Mizzou Baseball was in order! We met up with some of the players and parents from the Stars to enjoy a thrilling game. Mizzou pulled out the win in the bottom of the 9th inning!
It was a fun day of thrilling baseball. Now, it is time to get some sleep because tomorrow is Championship Sunday!
Let the 2022 Season Begin!
A Day at the Museums
We started today at the National World War I Museum and Memorial.
Even though it was cold and windy, we decided to go up in the tower. The views were impressive even for a cloudy day.
We spent the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon wandering through the museum.
The museum has an impressive amount of artifacts and we all enjoyed seeing the exhibits. Some highlights were the different uniforms, timeline wall, and tank. Everything is very well done and I think the kids learned a lot.
After a quick lunch, we spent the rest of the afternoon at the Sea Life Aquarium. A highlight for me is always the seahorses.
Being able to change the lighting in the jellyfish tank provided some interesting pictures. This one looks like a big, red brain.
While the aquarium is small, it was still fun to wander through and see everything.
We ended the day enjoying dinner at Como Smoke and Fire. It was a short trip, but I am glad that we managed to squeeze in some family time during Spring Break.
Kansas City
It has been a busy Spring Break, but we are taking a little bit of time to enjoy an overnight trip to Kansas City.
History Board
Laura is the Historian for Troop 523 and one of her first tasks was to make a board of troop pictures to hang next to the board for Troop 706 at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church. It is ready for delivery!
