Mitchell's best friend Parker lives in the neighborhood beside us. They are too far away from each other to walk...but hang out a lot. They are also in the same class at school (Poor Ms. Kosky) These pictures are from Field day at school. Our team won the tug-o-war over all for the 2nd grade (small but competitive boys)
Anyway, Wednesday night Mitchell decided to go to the ball field to cheer for his friend Parker's game. (even though if they won, we would have to eventually play them in the tournament) Parker is little but a good athlete...however Parker had never hit an out of the park homerun. So Parker is the lead off batter of the game.
Mitchell talks to him in the dug out for a pep talk and says "I am going behind the fence in the out field, this will bring you luck"
Parker "Ok, Mitch, I will hit one to ya"
I had to laugh at this banter and even worried that Mitchell might be a distraction to Parker behind the fence. Second swing....Parker hits a homerun over the fence...and Mitchell catches it for him!! Mitchell got to proudly bring Parker his very first "Home run ball"
It was a moment best friends NEVER forget!!
