Baseball Weather???

So Joshua had a 9:30pm baseball game on Friday night. They are trying to make up the games of the tournament that were rained out last weekend. You know you are not in Arizona anymore when the coach emails everyone to bring "snow gloves" to wear between innings!

Here was the weather report from weather.com for the hour that the game finished up!
11:00 PM
Partly Cloudy 40°F
Feels Like 37°F
Dew Point 33°F
Wind From SSE5mph

Now it's bad enough that you have to endure weather like that for a baseball game. The worst part is that the game ended in a 3-3 tie in regulation and tournament rules stipulate that they do not play beyond regulation until the championship bracket. What does that mean? We ended with a 1-1-1 record in our first tournament and did not advance.

We got home close to 1:00am and Josh had a scrimmage double-header later that day. The boys were pretty tired but had a ton of fun. The weather had actually warmed up and was pleasant. The other team brought BBQ stuff and they ate together between games.

That's a lot of baseball in 24 hours.

It's 84° in Mesa right now. I know, I know, you'll get back to me in late July and see if I'm still bragging. :)

The weather is beautiful here right now. The orange blossoms are absolutely breathe taking and this is the only time of year ZONIE'S can brag! Thanks for the updates, they are great! Happy Easter to your family. We enjoyed our tradition with confetti eggs. Wish you were here. Check out my blog for pictures later this week.
