Fun and Busy Saturday

T-ball and Baseball have now started.  This is Jake's first year in t-ball and it was hilarious.  He is such a character and he didn't disappoint in the the entertainment factor. I love t-ball since the kids are just figuring it all out.   Caden had two great hits and caught a fly ball in the outfield.  Max didn't have a game but got dressed up for the opening season ceremony.  They dedicated the field to a fallen Marine who died in Iraq.  He used to live here and helped with the high school baseball team.  So they flew his wife and son back to for the dedication.  It's times like this when I feel proud to be part of the military and be among people serving the USA.  Anyway, it was a nice morning of ball.  










After baseball we went to Feria in our little town of Rota.  Feria is just like a county fair except the Spanish women dress up in beautiful dresses with flowers in their hair.  The men have on handsome suits and hats.  Each town around here has their own Feria on different weeks, so most people go to each of them for the month of May.  It was so fun.  They love to party so much that they take the monday after of school off and call it "Hangover" monday.  Anyway, the fair food, the rides, and people watching were well worth the cultural experience of Feria.  If anyone wants to visit and see a cool cultural event, May is the time to come.
