Glovers organized a final summer hurrah (fun fact: we did like ten “hurrahs” and it did not make going back to school any easier. It did give us many super fond memories of the summer of 2018, though!) and we found the Messick, Shaw, Stewart, and Pezley boys along with Glover and a Ratsachak families for Christian music night at Arvest Ballfield. We arrived as David Dunn was finishing up a live performance. We started listening to KLRC and Air 1 Christian radio stations in our cars on a temple trip the weekend after we met baby Wren. It’s been a highlight of many car rides to have uplifting music playing, and a few songs in particular have really helped me find peace during drives to Fayetteville for hearings and visits. The kids were excited to hear the familiar “I Wanna Go Back” as we entered the park.
Highlights of the evening:
-Aunt Kasey coming over and putting the triplets to bed. They would have only lasted so long at a 7pm ballgame. Instead, we got to stay for fireworks!
-front two seats for $7 bucks, baby.
-It was really weird and oddly liberating to have free hands and lap most of the evening. And kids I could hand cash to and send them to get their own ice cream from concession stand.
-Speaking of concessions: ballpark nachos For. The. Win. These babies are one of life’s great simple pleasures.
-Watching little Bradley P devour an ice cream, savoring every bite. Nothing cuter in the world.
-Except maybe for Andrew G who beamed when a player walked by and put a baseball right into his open hands. Oh my. Cuteness overload. That ball stayed cradled in his arm the entire night. Pretty sure he fell asleep with it,
-Kids getting their tickets autographed by players...from the other team 😂🤦🏻♀️
-coupons for free queso and kid’s meals at tacos for life.
-a guy on our row wearing a Team Jesus jersey. Right on, guy. I love living in the Bible Belt. People are not ashamed of their faith.
-waving hi and shining our phone lights to the patients in the children’s hospital windows across the street.
-high fives from Strike the Naturals’ Sasquatch mascot.
-An evening hanging out with Saeng and Tia. That’s gold, that is.
-Corbin running back and forth down our entire brow after every single ball that csmenour way, hoping to catch a fly ball in his hat. He really believed he might catch one and I love his determination.
-Naturals win!
-a really good fireworks show, timed to a medley of our favorite Christian radio hits!
Goodbye, Summer. I really really love you.
