4 th and friends

Our 4 th of July started out with a 10:30 am baseball

practice followed by a 1 pm tournamnet

game in Hickory Hills .

We slaughtered Frankfort 14-1.

One of our Thunder family members hosted a 4 th of July

barbeque's at their new home.

The Thunder familiesgathered at the Warehams

for fun, food and good company.

These boys have bond like nothing I've seen before, probably

explains the success on the field

Once it got dark the team moved the party to Lombard Commons

for the annual fireworks show. I unfortunately had to go

home due to a muscle spasm induced headache.

Tim and the boys enjoyed the show that ended a wonderful day

My dad joined us Thursday night in Hickory Hills for the

1 st game of the series in which we slaughtered

Orland Park 18-1 ish (starting to lose count)

I don't get to see my dad often so it was a treat.

We are playing at this crazy field covered in electrical wires

that crackle throughout the game. If the ball hits the wires it is a do-over

Seriously...backyard baseball much.We even had a home run that hit

an out of the field wire and bounced back in

It was a fair ball and no home run We have dubbed this field

"fryer field, home of the do-over"
