Kennewick American U11 Baseball Team = STATE Champs!!

Here are some shots from the baseball tournament yesterday in Kennewick.  Chance's team
had to play (and win) 2 games to be the State Champs.  They did it!!
Their first game was against the other Kennewick team...the Kennewick Nationals.
It was a hard fought game, as any rivalry would be.
The Americans won in 9 innings, score of 11-7.  A walk-off grand slam was the
difference in this game.  WOW!
 
In no particular order, here are some of my favorites from the day.











This girl's name is Bella.  Of course it is!!! 
















 
Next up:  Regionals in Helena, Montana!!!

Quick Trip To San Francisco!

Kyle got a 4 day break this last weekend from work so we took advantage!  We drove down to
San Francisco to watch the Dodgers and Giants play baseball at AT&T Park!
We always said that once all the kids were out of the house we were going to go to all the
baseball fields.  2 down!!
 
Here's a tip we learned:  San Francisco has lots of bridges leading into
and out of the city.  The Golden Gate Bridge doesn't take cash!

Sausalito 

The streets in San Francisco!  The bus and cable car drivers were on strike
the days we were in the city.  Crazy!
The American Cup is going to be held in the city this year also.  LOTS of
things going on to get ready for this. 



Alcatraz 
LOVE this bug! 
Another bridge...along with a new one going up right beside it! 
The Bay Bridge 
Can you tell it was foggy??  This is a view of the city from
Treasure Island.

The way home involved driving through the Napa Valley.
Beautiful. 

And a stop at the Redwoods.
