Tournament time...

Baseball season is finally coming to a close. I know Jacob will be sad for it to end, but after a minimum of 2 games a week every week since the 2nd week of May, this Mom is definitely ready for a break. I have to admit I will miss my social time at the games though. Last night was the first round of tournament games. Jacob's team was winning 4-1 in the bottom of the 4th inning....and then the game had to be called due to darkness. I'm not sure why you would schedule a 7:45pm game on a field with no lights, but someone thought that would be a good idea. So, we are on our way back to the park tonite to finish innings #5 and 6....and hope they can keep the lead that they had last night. Here are just a few photos from last night, taken with my new lens. I love using it, but still need to get used to using it. I also need to start lifting weights to use it...it's really heavy!

Fooling around with Cade during warm ups....
I was trying to be a little "artsy". I like the end result, but most of you are probably wondering why I have a photo of the grass in focus and Jacob's feet blurry....and why I chopped off his head.

Love this photo....this is exactly why I wanted a new lens...so I could get awesome action shots like this one. Unfortunately, the catcher threw the ball past Jacob and the runner was safe at 2nd. I didn't realize until I was uploading my photos that I caught this whole sequence. Kind of fun!
