“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Take Me Out To The Ballgame...






I know this is one of the things Shayne has dreamed about since we knew we were having a little boy...taking him to his first baseball game. Baseball is Shayne's first love...even before fishing, there was baseball.

So...this day was a dream come true. We have a baseball team up here on the Kenai Peninsula called The Peninsula Oilers and they are part of an Alaskan baseball league full of mostly college baseball players who come up to play for the summer. We've actually had some players go on to play in the MLB...Mark McGuire being one of them.

Anyway...I digress...

On June 20th they were playing in Kenai so we decided to check them out. Shayne had so much fun chillin' with his little boy at their first baseball game. We went again on the 24th and they played catch together. It really was a lot of fun. It reminded me a little bit of growing up around the different rodeo arenas we traveled to with our parents, which was fun for us kids.

Anyway...He's already instilled his love of baseball in his little boy...they love to play catch, hit the ball, and even watch it at home. I'm doomed. :)

One of Shayne's bucket-list items is to take his kids to every MLB ballpark. I'm ok with this bucket-list item...it means we get to go on a lot of fun road-trips and see lots of the country. Can't wait to start our adventure.
