first baseball game



RM took in his first baseball game last night with his Daddy and the guys while watching the Greenville Drive. Naturally, i neglected to send a real camera with them, so the only evidence is this pix msg. They took it during the national anthem... and even managed to get RM's hand over his heart.

Floyd says that RM had a blast, and actually watched the game very intently. When the pitcher threw the ball, he would mimic the gesture and add a "Swish!" sound as he made his imaginary pitch. When the crowd cheered for a hit, RM was pretty happy to clap along with everyone.

The Flour Field at the West End is just plain awesome too. It's a replica of Fenway Park, and was named Ball Park of the year in 2006. There is a great little playground for kids, and a grassy hill for families to sit on (or kids to roll down). Can you tell I'm proud of the quality of life in our town?

Yeah, greenville is just basically awesome, and we can't wait to be there with y'all. James Taylor was on TV the other day singing "Carolina on my Mind" and I actually started crying (could have also been a bit of post-prego hormones causing it too). RM looks cute, Bobby can't wait to meet him and your sweet little girl when she comes.
