The favorite thing to do during the games is dig in the dirt. This is a dream come true for little boys! Simon, of course, was covered from head to toe.
Right now the boys aren't too interested in what's going on in the field, but I know that will change soon. They both cheer when Dave is up to bat, but the call of the dirt and little friends to run around with is much more appealing right now. In a few short years, our lives will be filled with games and practices though, and as much as I'm looking forward to that, I'm just treasuring my dirty little punks. It is just priceless how much joy a pile of dirt can bring to a one year old!
That last shot is right after Simon found a puddle of water on the ground left over from today's rain, bent over, and put his head right in it!
I wish I could have gotten some better shots of the *real* action out on the field, but everything turned out really blurry. We're looking forward to buying a better camera soon.
And even though this was the last summer game, fall softball season starts beginning of August. Wouldn't ya know, they give us a 1 week break. :) How kind of them.

Awh, Simon! He is cute even with mud on him!
Have you decided what camera you are getting?
Ruth, no we haven't decided. But we need to soon! It would be nice to have in Chicago.
Heather, hopefully soon!
what is it with kids and dirt? my kids have plenty to do in our backyard, but there favorite thing is the dirt, just digging in it... with their fingers. but it does make for cute pictures.
when are you headed to chicago? this is for your anniversary right?
Too cute Rachel. I guess its time to prepare for those days in the mud. I'm sure Simon had the time of his life. I just wonder if cleaning up was as exciting.
