It was a really fun season, watching our two oldest grandsons play and improve on the baseball diamond. But not all the action was ON the diamond...

There was plenty happening on the sidelines during those sometimes-long innings! Mommy Dana had the task of keeping Kelsey (and sister Kassie) happy, snacked-up, and occupied.

Next year Kelsey and Kassie will be playing softball themselves, but this year they were the Orioles tag-alongs.

On the nearby playground...

We had a lot of this to contend with...

...which brought extra opportunities for entertainment for the girls and their adorable little baseball friends.

Yikes!  I hope Kelsey is not popping an earthworm in her mouth! Nothing would surprise me with that girl....

She's something else!

I brought Krew to a few games to watch his big cousins play...

...and his cousins Kassie and Kelsey took him under their wings.

The three little cousins...Kassie, Krew, and Kelsey...enjoying a snack together.

Love me a group of handsome Gray men!  My father-in-law Kenny came to many of his great-grandsons' games.

Emily and Zach joined us for a few too.  Nice Coke, Em!!!

Not every moment was a happy one...

The infamous Kelsey scowl...

Hi Kass!

She makes new friends every game.  I overheard them talking about their pink shoes!  Girls!!!

That's much better, Kels!

Finger-licking good!

Kelsey-smooches for Papaw!

Kelsey and Krew...

Kim and Kenny, intent on the game...

Papaw and Kassie...

Krew and Kelsey peeking in on the big boys...

A sweet Krew smile!

Only in farm country...a farmer-dad stopped his spraying for a little baseball!

Keeping our eyes on the skies...

For several summer weeks, baseball is not just a sport...it's a way of life. Yes, there's the games. But there's also plenty of...

...off-diamond action.
