Mother's Day and Bobby's Baseball Tournaments

It was great to be in the FiestaTime again!  I have missed the road  and now that most of the house stuff is just about behind us we can do what retired people do - Whatever we want!!.  
I haven't had a chance to post anything since. December.  But I am back now so let's get caught up.

Mothers Day
I booked a site 7 months ago at Fort DeSoto Campground (I will miss that perk for Pinellas County residents.) We were just there on Saturday night.  It was so windy, I didn't even come out but that didn't stop Big Bob.
We did have an opportunity to use our new sign for the first time. We got it this year at the RV show.
The kids and grand kids came over on Sunday for breakfast and to hang out for awhile.  The boys spotted something in the water.
And then it was time to head home.

Bobby's Baseball Tournament
Our Grandson Bobby (yes,same name as his Papa) is on a travel baseball team and has one tournament right after another during the summer months. We had the great privilege to be able to spend some alone time with him and give Bryan a chance to at least get in a few days of work.
The Hand Off - Bryan and Angel needed to get back to work, so Big Bob and I drove down on Monday morning  for the end of the Vero Beach Tournament.  This was the second  time we have towed and no issues. Thank Goodness.   First time was to get the motor home up here and us back to St Pete.  When we got to the Sunshine Travel RV Park, Bobby put his gear in our  RV and then Bryan pulled his camper out of the site and we pulled into the site. Big Bob seems to always be in the same place, not matter where we are.
Tuesday was the last game and on Wednesday morning we went took a trip over to the Navy Seal Museum in Ft Pierce.  It was really done nicely. I didn't get many pictures because it was jut too hot outside. So much for the breeze off the ocean.


After that we drove up to Rockledge where we camped at the Space Coast RV Resort, right up the road from where Bobby played - Space Coast Stadium.  I am spoiled now, it will hard to go back to those metal bleachers.  We could not have asked for anything better, from the weather (it rained after the the games so no rain delays thankfully) or his team's performance.  All of them brought their A game. They were 5-0 for the tournament - an awesome accomplishment.   Bobby went 4 for 9 and 3 walks..  He plays center field and bats in the top of the order.  Proud Nena (my grandmother name.)
Bryan, Angel and Brody drove up on Friday and camped across from us. Sunday the boys had to play on the field instead of the stadium.  Lots of equipment (for us) involved for that.
It was awesome being able to share in such a special memory, spending time with all the Ballew's - it was a  very nice Father's day for Big Bob, including the previous week when Janel brought the boys up for he day. We are truly blessed.
Lots of travel coming up, no more just a weekend trip. We will be on the road again in 1 1/2 weeks!  Can't wait!
