It's one thing to lose but Cmon!

The weather today is going to be very good. It is going to be in the upper 70's, low humidity and sunny. What a day!

Jess had a double header last night and they got their asses handed to them. It was a complete blowout from the start. First batter for the other team----BOOM---Homerun! Third batter---BOOM--Homerun! 7 different girls hit homeruns on us last night.

They lost the first game 12-0 and the second game 13-1. Our pitching sucked, the fielding sucked, the batting sucked and it was the worst they have played all year. Jess played fine on 1st but didn't bat well. I think she was up 4 times (not much for two games but it shows how crappy they did) 2 strike outs and two popup flies. As a team they had one hit in the first game and 2 hits in the second game.

We play this same team at home Saturday for the first round of regionals. The season will end that day.

Tonight is the last regular season game. It is at home, senior night.

Ok, more of the California trip:

Day 4:

Normal stuff in the morning and afternoon. Breakfast - Classes- Lunch/Pool - More Classes. The only thing that was different this day is I had to do homework in the morning. I am taking an online class on how to teach online classes and I had to spend about 40 minutes doing homework and submitting it online before class.

The confernce gave us free passes to Disneyland and $25 Visa gift cards to use for a meal of for items in the shops. We decided to go the Disneyland.

We walked throught downtown Disney to the park and got there about 5:00. The place was pretty crowded but what can you expect, it's Disneyland. Anyway we wanted to go on some rides so we started in right away.

We went on the StarWars ride, it is a virtual ride. You are in a shuttle type thing and thy have a big screen in front and the shuttle car moves as the screen shows you flying, ect. It was pretty cool. We went on a ride called "The Matterhorn", basically a rollercoaster in a mountain. Lots of dark passages. It was fun.

Up next was Thunder Mountain. Rollercoaster in the form of a runaway train. Once again...FUN!

We also went on Space Mountain, maybe my favorite ride of all. A rollercoaster in the dark but it is like you are in space, so you see stars and planets and it is a great time. We went on the Indiana Jones Adventure ride and Pirates of the Carribean. I was getting tired and kind of grouchy at the end. The amount of strollers at this place was ridiculous!

We also watched a show. It was called Fanstasmic. Very, very cool. It was a big show kind of on a lake. They sprayed water in the air and projected animation on the mist. It was pretty awesome. They mixed the animation with the actual characters live on stage and they had fire and special effects. They also had a big boat with ALL the Disney characters go by. It was well worth the crowd and all crazy people we had to put up with.

They also had a big fireworks show.

The longest lines were for Space Mountain, 55 minutes and Indiana Jones, over and hour. I think we got back to the room around 11 or 12. We ate at a county buffet restraunt. I bought a tanktop with my money, Nancy bought a sweatshirt and Joyce bought a t-shirt. Even though I was tired and sick of all the stroller people, I had a great time.

This was the one day we didn't use the car so I didn't get lost and didn't end up on the 5.
