HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

Our Ward had a BBQ picnic on Saturday to celebrate Memorial Day. Ian and Lance were the self proclaimed "Master BBQ Grillers" for the afternoon. And I, of course, was the self proclaimed "Nagging Know It All on the How To's of Successful BBQing." Ian has learned to ignore my "helpful suggestions", but Lance had finally had enough and pulled out his weapons of war and chased me away! I don't know how they did it, but despite the absence of my constant supervision, the burgers and dogs turned out just fine.

After lunch we all joined together in a friendly game of softball. Our star pitcher, Luke, got thrown out of the game for doctoring up the ball with an emery board and vaseline! Luke has a reputation amoung the fans as being the rebelious one on the team! He likes to show off his defiance by wearing his signature fishermans hat instead of the team issued baseball cap!
Ian Service, number 29, traded two years ago to the Capital Ward Team, is now batting 4th. He's already doubled, tripled, and had two homers this game! He's known for his long ball and his long...bat.
Manager for the Capital Ward Team is Isaac Robinson, famous for his years spent with Joe Torre as batting coach. As always, Robinson is seen eating a mid game snack. He says he's not supersticious, but claims a 5th inning cookie can really bring the team together. (also pictured is the third base coach, Braum Thompson)
Shoeless Brett Robinson was one of the most talented members on the team until he got caught throwing the game with about 7 other members on his team! He is now banned from church softball for life.
