I drove for a field trip for Devin's 5th grade class to Cahokia Mounds. The weather was beautiful. I thought it was very interesting. The kids were well behaved and had a nice time.
Jessi's softball is over for the season. Rosati lost the game 6-4 last night in the first game of the district tournament. They started the game Monday but it was suspended after an inning and a half because it was pouring. The other team scored two runs in the first inning. There is a small bit of controversy because our pitcher pitched in terrible rainy conditions and theirs didn't have to. Any way the game picked up were it left off yesterday. They scored 4 runs their first time up at bat. The highlight of the game was in the 4th inning. We're down by 5 runs, Jessi's up to bat, bases are loaded, two outs and she hits a fabulous base clearing ground double to center field. That made the score 4 to 6. She made a great play in center field and also got a single. I look forward to finding out what her batting average was. She was really hot at the end of the year.
She and Zach went to Rosati's Homecoming last Saturday. They went with Jessi's friend Lucy and her boyfriend Justin, Marissa and her blind date Matt, and another couple I don't know. They had a really good time. They had pizza at Lucy's house before the dance and went back to Lucy's house afterwards. Jessi spent the night.
Devin's IKP soccer team were ball boys last Sunday for the UMSL Men's and Women's soccer teams. The women won and the men lost by 1. I think the boys enjoyed the watching the guys play up close. After the game they boys asked the UMSL Men's team for autographs. I know the girl friend of one of the players and he told her that the guys were touched that the boys wanted their autographs even though they lost.

The kids ran up the stairs to the top of the mound. Ahh to be young and have so much energy!
This is largest mound (maybe Monks Mound?) at Chaokia Mounds. Anyway, it is believed that the Chief lived on top of this mound.
Jessi on the run for ball hit deep in center field.
She has it in her sights! Will she catch it? 
Yes! Great catch Jessi.
Here is Jessi and some of her softball team at Rosati's homecoming.
Jessi and her friend Julie, a fellow softball player.
Jessi and Zach. Lucy and Matt. Do not ask me what is up with the cowboy hats. I am sure there is some logical reason. Does anyone else notice how Jessi and Zach coordinate?
