On Friday, I went to computer science and saw Andrew Appel before heading back home to get ready for the ball game.

The boys assembled before 6 and there were pictures of Nathaniel and Joel Ben and Sam and then various groupings before we made our way to the tree and kept adding until I tried to get everyone to look at me with limited success. We drove on to the ball park and the group in my car, posed first with the car and then with the sculpture before doing some climbing while waiting for the others to come and claim their pennants which they did just as the game was starting and Nathaniel was wondering if he could throw out the first pitch before we reached our seats where the Thunder staff brought our food and gave us each some food which Bobby dug into as the game progressed and Ben decided not to turn around for a photo op but Nathaniel was willing to mug for the game camera as the play continued to the amusement of our group especially when Boomer came to our section

after which I felt compelled to try and get a group picture

and then went back to trying for a picture of Ben without his head folded back and finally succeeded so that I tried for Bobby and Eddie and then Nathaniel before settling for a self portrait and an image in profile which was pretty good. Meanwhile, the moon was up and surrounded by bats (the flying kind) that cannot be seen in the picture. The group watched and Nate moved out of the frame as Joel moved in and so, it was Nate in and Joel in before the game ended with a final score of 10-2 so that Bobby, Ben and Sam could climb into my car for the trip home.
