First Durham Bulls Game

August -

Grandma and Uncle Ben come to visit! Grayson was much more interactive since Grandma's last visit. She was only able to stay for a little while, but Ben was able to hang out for a few extra days. We all went to Grayson's first baseball game! The USA Olympic team headquarters is in nearby Cary, NC and the team was playing some exhibition games in Durham against Canada before they both left for China. It was a beautiful day and a great experience! The park is really nice, although it doesn't look like the park from the movie Bull Durham anymore due to the upgrading of urban ballparks as a centerpiece to revitalizing downtown areas. Actually, they probably didn't even film the movie here in Durham. Grayson still doesn't quite have the head control to make a collared shirt look right, but it's adorable.

Later the 4 of us went to play golf. Uncle Ben and Dad played while Mom and Grayson walked the course. She made sure to talk strategy, pin placements, and work on Grayson's mental approach as we all enjoyed the sunshine. At least a few times she was overheard telling Grayson, "Okay, did you see what Dad just did there? That's a great example of what NOT to do." Apparently, Andra really wasn't supposed to be allowed to walk the course with Grayson due to insurance reasons - which makes sense. It was still a great time and we can't wait until we can take Grayson back to actually play.
