This week Travis had his season opener as a baseball coach. He had 3 semi tough games right off the bat. The boys improved over the week and had some really great moments, but are struggling to keep their errors down and get their hitting up. Coach enjoys sitting on an open bucket during the games. It doesn't appear comfortable, but it's his thing. I'm proud of him.
Travis talking up the line up with one of his assistant coaches, Mr. Jones. Although not a prerequisite to go onto the field during a game at the freshmen level, Mr. Jones enjoys the baseball pants and is a firm believer in wearing them at games.
We roll deep to support Coach. This is Brocky, Anders, and Nick watching an infield error. Even Brocky gets it.
Like Father like son. Brocky kept taking Anders hat to wear throughout the game.
Post game pep talk. He is such a good coach.
This is a scene we tend to recreate every 2 weeks. Travis and I have a Saturday morning class twice a month that has insane amounts of expository reading. And of course we enjoy torturing ourselves and waiting until the last minute to start. We usually preemptively reward ourselves with take out to get us through the night. A student from our school was working at Taco Bell last night. We ordered 5 things, got 11. There are some unspoken benefits to being teachers.
Hu Ke Lau!
Our friends the Ripley's own the Polynesian dance production company that performs that the local Hu Ke Lau so they invited us for dinner and a show. I thought this was kind of a cool picture of the Tahitian dancers.
Moki is so talented and beautiful it's ridiculous. She can do things with her hips at age 40 that I have never been able to do. Must be nice.
Travis and Anders had their first catch of the season.
It was a broodstock salmon. Travis actually caught it so it was a "big deal" because Anders has caught the first one of the season for the past 3 seasons. They grilled it up nice during Conference weekend and I didn't touch it. It grosses me out, but I'm glad it makes him happy.
