When I think of State baseball
I can almost smell the barbecue charring hot dogs paired with the sweetness fresh cut grass.
The chattering of fans mixed with cleats scratching in the dirt ... ah the sweet familiarities that I was SO ready for this weekend!! Baseball has quickly become ingrained into me.
My picture perfect baseball weekend was quickly replaced with winter coats, freezing hands & swaddling Jackobi in blankets galore. Her rain boots did come in rather handy!!
Okay, so the first two days weren't NEARLY this bad, but it was still COLD! I know I wasn't ready for the early Spring baseball weather to return so readily!
Luckily were were able to take refuge at the hotel pool.
Jackobi had fun dancing from pool to hot tub and back again.
She thought it was pretty fun to have the guys there as well!
I must admit, they are pretty entertaining!
Check out those awesome tan lines??
Much to my dismay, it has become tradition for Minico's baseball team to shave mohawks into their hair when they go to State. Since baseball players are VERY superstitious ... they decided since they did this and WON state last year, it was necessary again.
This INCLUDES the coaches. Yep, that's right ...
Casey is luckily the only one who gets to dodge this tradition (which I hope is over since they didn't win State this year. :) )
We had a running joke.
In the picture above, one is an adult, one is a teenager.
Which is which?
We have since shaved Nate's mohawk down (thank goodness!!)
Now if only the hair would grow back!!
We won't be going anywhere hat-less (together at least) for quite awhile!!
These goofy boys definitely keep things interesting!
Among lots of other things, we were also able to celebrate JoEllyn & Camille's birthdays this weekend.
What a fun filled weekend!
State wasn't quite what I had planned on this year, but we had a great time.
And Minico will soon add another piece of hardware to their trophy case. 3rd place ... not too shabby!
