Last night was Joel's final regular season game and he did great. Here, he just made contact for a decent hit--made it on base. He's really getting proficient at switch-hitting. The highlight of his game was a super pop fly catch at third base, which he played all night. The opposing team's coach told him, "Now
that's baseball!" as he gave him a high-five. We're hoping they offer a fall baseball league. Joel's really taken to it and his skills are developing well. We should've put him on a National League Rookie team, but he didn't have experience, so we signed him up for American League. Now we know! Andy said he'll probably go ahead and coach next year. I think he'd be terrific!
After an night full of thunderstorms, we woke up to this flooding in our neighborhood. It's the worst we've seen it since we've lived here. Our lilacs are sure getting drowned! We saw a ladder and a tire floating past the kids' play fort here in our backyard ditch.
This is the front area of our neighbor's yard. Driveway is under water.
This is the view from where our street intersects with the main neighborhood access. The ladder and tire ended up out there past that mailbox and had to be rescued so it wouldn't stay in the middle of the street. Also discovered was the kids' telescope from their fort in the backyard!
This is looking the opposite way to the other cul-de-sac, which is completely flooded. I just checked outside again and the water seems to be rising as I record this!
