Eric took Taylor to the airport this morning and was back in bed by the time I got up this morning. She made it home safely and now it's time for Eric's parents to arrive. They left California early yesterday morning and arrived at the hotel up the road around 5:00. I spent the day baking cookies for tonight's potluck dinner and cleaning a bit, doing laundry and dishes and such as we changed from having one guest to none at the house, but the parents coming in. Eric got up and cleaned his room then headed off to the field. His mom called shortly thereafter from the hotel and I made plans for when and where to meet them at the field. We headed over around 5:30 and got Eric's new walk up song taken care of, the cookies stashed away and the tickets set up before meeting his parents in the parking lot. The game was absolutely horrible, our pitching had another meltdown, giving up 7 runs in the 1st inning! And offensively we couldn't come back from that, in fact, we didn't get a single hit until the bottom of the 7th and at the end we had no runs on 3 hits. Despite that, we had a nice dinner of brisket and lots of sides to go with it and the weather was nice for our meal. Then we took our 3 vehicles and all got back to the house. We sat in the living room just talking about baseball, Eric, catching up for them. Eric's parents brought us a really nice gift set of a hand blown Margarita pitcher and glasses and some good tequila so I got to open a present and the cats got to play with the wrapping paper and empty box. Then I drew them a map back to the hotel and they headed off to bed, I am upstairs getting the pictures off the camera, Eriq's in bed, Eric's in the shower and we're wrapping up for the night. Another home game tomorrow...I told the Olivers that it can't be worse, I hope I'm right!
