Hickman Baseball

Posted on by Erica

We went to the Hickman High School baseball game because it was Future Kewpie day. John attended the Hickman Hitting Clinic again this past year and all the boys received free attendance today.

John went onto the field with the Hickman starter for his position (left field) and stood with him for the National Anthem. Then, we were treated to a 2-1 Hickman victory. It was a fun way to spend an early evening on this beautiful day. Go Kewpies!

Another Weekend; Another Tournament

Posted on by Erica

It wasn’t the best weekend of baseball, but it wasn’t the worst either. After tough days on both Friday and Saturday, a different Stars team showed up today. The boys finished second in the consolation bracket, losing the second game 3-2.

They were unhappy with not finishing it, but we had some definite bright spots. Clayton made a leaping catch that brought a fist bump from the umpire. Lucas and A.J. joined the “Stars Home Run Club.” The infield was so close to turning their first double play. Cody got his pitching groove back. Shane had an amazing hit that was so close to being out. John took a single away by throwing the runner out at first base from right field. The Parent Club got to see a former family that came out to cheer on the boys. As Coach Al said after the final game, “if you aren’t winning, you’re learning.” It is on to league play on Tuesday!

Claysville Store

We went to dinner at the Claysville Store.

It is some of the best family-style fried chicken around.

The best part is that they just keep bringing the chicken and sides until you literally cannot eat anymore. I am pretty sure that John went through three bowls of mashed potatoes by himself!

It is always a great dinner!
