Lafayette has a very minor baseball team. I don’t know all the various leagues of baseball, but I do know this one is a college league that plays during the summer and has a really nicenew stadium. The old one they completely tore out after the 2019 season and since it wasn’t supposed to be completed and ready until the 2021 season, the Lafayette Aviators didn’t loose out over Covid. So, this year it was “Play Ball!”
Ed really enjoys baseball, even though his hometown Pirates play ball worse than a pack of little leaguers. (Literally. Search Youtube for a play they made – or didn’t – at first base this past season. Worse than five-year-olds.) Indiana doesn’t have a major league team, but this league is very enjoyable. And very affordable. Especially when Emry won a ticket for memorizing all her Bible verses at church.
The summer got away with us and we barely made it to the last game of the season. It was a beautiful night to be out, though. Since it was Lafayette’s “Night Out”, the police, sheriff’s department and various branches of the military were out in force. Ethan, who currently wants to be a police officer when he grows up, was on cloud nine. Later he got a bit bored as the game stretched on. Ellyson, too, would get quite restless. So I can’t say I got to see much of what looked like a really good game. But it was a fun family night out anyway.
Well, Ellyson preferred the French fries – probably her favorite food.
Emry and “Ace the Aviator”.
Ellyson: the coolest baby at the stadium.
