The first picture below is from Saturday night's swim party at one of Chase's baseball teammate's house. Sunday was a busy day for everybody. Chase's baseball tournament continued for the second day in St. Peter's. Yesterday's games were in O'Fallon. The most exciting thing happened: Chase's team won the tournament and all the team members received heavy, gold-looking rings engraved with GMB (no one is sure what that stands for).Chase is over the moon about his team winning the tournament. They hadn't been playing very well so this win means a great deal. Aunt Becky hosted a big Father's Day brunch for Uncle Mike, and unfortunately, Mama, Daddy and Chase couldn't attend because of the baseball tournament. But most of the family was there. Cousin Mikey is still in California, but cousin Robbie, Claudia, cousin Joey, Julia (but unfortunately not Hudson or Jeremy), cousin Jon Jon, cousin Nichole, cousin Kris, cousin Lindsey, Nyeal, Aunt Becky, Uncle Mike, and Nanaw were there and had a wonderful time. Irina is still in Europe (Uncle Mike talked to her yesterday, and her next stop is Austria), and cousin Natalie is in Wisconsin; today is Nat's birthday! Aunt Becky outdid herself with the food, including cherry and apple turnovers, cinnamon rolls, several trays of fresh fruit, and breakfast pizza. Yum! The second to last picture is Nyeal holding Uncle Mike's cat Tucker. Tucker used to always hiss at Nanaw but he's mellowed in his later years (he's almost 14, Nanaw thinks), and he no longer hisses at her. In the evening, Mama, Daddy, Chase and Nanaw went to dinner for Daddy on Father's Day at Mr. BBQ in Columbia. Chase had a huge pretzel with cheese sauce (in the picture below!!) and mac and cheese, Daddy had a pulled pork sandwich, Mama had chicken strips, and Nanaw had a delicious pork steak. Tomorrow, Chase starts hockey camp. He has a six o'clock baseball game, and Nanaw is going to the game so she gets a chance to see him.
