We're a Host Family

Here in the Valley, there is a summer baseball league.  Kids from colleges all over the country come to the area and play lots and lots of baseball in hopes of making it big.  When I was still living at home, Brett Gardner (who now plays center-field for the New York Yankees) played in this league, he even came to our house once (pretty cool, huh!?).  Now that we are settled in Woodstock, we were asked to host a "River Bandit", after convincing Daniel that we "needed" another (because my 18-year-old brother stays with us a lot) teenager in the house, we finally agreed to give it a try. 

On Monday we met our house guest.  My older kids call him their "summer brother".  How cute is that?  Bobby, our "summer brother" is from Las Vegas, attends UNLV and plays first base.  He's only been here a few days but hopefully the culture shock will wear off soon!  We were fortunate to have landed such a considerate and respectful Bandit.  I already know we're ALL going to miss him when he goes home.

Tonight was the first game of the season, of course "we" won.  All of the guys had a great game and there were even some great plays made by the Luray Wranglers.
