Our new favorite place to be on Wednesday nights is the Morgan RecPlex. Landon is on a men's league softball team, and it has been so much fun to watch him play ball again.
The atmosphere is great. Summer evenings, not too hot, visiting people you haven't seen for awhile, teams that aren't so cut-throat that there is tension and fighting........it makes for a fun evening, that's for sure.
There are 3 fields being used, with games at 7, 8 and 9 pm. Each team usually has 2 games per week. Softball takes a little getting used to. The rules are different from baseball. The catcher's job is almost non-existent. There can be no more than 2 home runs in an inning, and if there is a 3rd, it is an OUT, and if you hit a home run, you just need to run to first base and touch it (strange).
Landon, and his cousin/brother-in-law Keysto play, and also two other cousins, Chans and Casey. I told Roger I thought they should get a team put together for next year, with Roger, Layne & Kerry (the old guys:), and Casey and Jared (Layne's boys), and Zac and Landon (our boys), and Keysto and Chans (Joni's boys). Then LuAnn and Ben could come and watch ONE team, instead of trying to follow three different teams. Right now, Landon is on Brandyn Thackeray's team, Chans and Keysto are on Toomer's team, and Casey is on Holcim's team.
If you aren't doing anything on Wednesday evenings, head on over to Morgan Rec Plex. You are sure to meet someone you know, and you can pick a team to cheer on !!
