Sunday was Eric P’s Birthday. Our Family, and The Eicher Family was all invited over to the parma baseball diamond to play softball that afternoon at 4. So, at about…. 3:15 Lynda called over asking if we were comming/anybody was on their way there, and of course, nobody had gone quite yet so the answer was no. Though, I didn’t say that even though I was the person who picked up the phone! Noooo, I asked her if she wanted to talk to Rebecca(who just happened to by walking by asking who it was!) and, of course, she said “sure”! After Rebecca got off the phone with Lynda, Her and Mary proceeded to go down there to see if we needed to bring what we made(well, it was food for afterwards…) then or later. He said later, because we would be eating at their house and this would be at the baseball diamond(as I mentioned earlier!). Meanwhile, basically it’s just guys home at this time, for, Rachel and Mom had gone to town to get groceries or something of that nature. Why is this significant? well, it’s not unless you count not having a car for a few minutes. After a while all the girls got home(within a couple minutes of eachother, I think they met in town), and we headed off to the baseball diamond(after we gathered up a couple folding chairs for Mom and Dad.). When we got there, the Eichers hadn’t arrived. So, we decided to just play for a while anyways(we weren’t sure if they were really comming anyways). So, we just played with enough to have three bases, pitcher, catcher, outfielder and a batter(a lot of times no outfielder). It was fun! Eventually Isaac came up with the idea to just make all the basemen rotate so that everyone would get a turn eventually. That worked out pretty well for a while, and then after an hour or two, I was(and I think everybody else was) about ready to call it quits when, guess what we see rounding the corner? The Eichers Van! yay! They pulled in to the parking area and everybody quickly piled out of the van. Everybody out on the field. No teams yet! We just played batting for a while, then after a few, asigned teams. It was really fun. For the most part of the game, we were ahead. But in the last inning, I think they scored about 20 points :|(what happened??) so, needless to say, we lost! We played a bit more after that, and then all departed, all tired. We played for about 4 hours out there…. After that, we headed over to Eric and Lynda’s house for dinner!(Eichers didn’t go. They had to get back to New Plymouth) Boy were we hungry!(at least I was) Eric was Barbacueing hamburger. It was all very good! I only had one helping and I was full… I just drank tea and lemonaid after that(that is, until we got out to the car…). Anna and Caleb left for home first, then we just talked in the living room for a while and headed home.(and I had a brownie in the car :P) The End. oh, I was very sore yesterday. Not really all the much today, but yesterday was bad! That’s all for now folks!! Benjamin
