Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Little Man is SEVEN and I cannot believe it! He’s up to my shoulders, smart as a whip, sensitive, and silly. Current favorites are: sushi, video games, riding a bike without training wheels, Legos, swimming, Spiderman, and BASEBALL.

To celebrate our little slugger, we hosted a simple ‘night at the ballpark’ for our baseball-loving lad. Little Man’s played two seasons of tball and is gearing up for AA fall-ball soon, but the beauty of baseball is that it’s for EVERYONE, and our extended family (aged 7 to 80) dusted off their sneakers with gusto for this all-american pastime.

Even down several players, the blue team emerged (overwhelmingly) victorious, but I’d say the red team had more sass.

After working up our appetites, Husband grilled ballpark franks and we enjoyed a simple picnic.

easiest birthday dessert ever, was thrilled to spy these recently at Costco

It was a super-fun time for a super-fun boy! Sometimes the simplest celebrations can be the most memorable.
