World Baseball Classic

On March 8th, we had fun taking a family outing to the World Baseball Classic game between the US and Canada. For those of you who have not heard of this new competition, there is now a world baseball championship where 16 countries come together and compete for the world title. You would think that the US would dominate the sport, but we were disappointed to attend a game where the US lost and was almost beaten to a pulp. For a while, Canada was beating the US 8-0! All until, the 6th inning when the US scored 6 runs (2 runs batted in, and a grandslam!) I had never seen a grand slam in a game that I was attending so that was pretty exciting. In the end, the US lost 8-6. (And they were knocked out by Mexico in the semi-final round later. Japan was the ultimate champion.) Despite the loss, Robby, Little Robby, Jenna and I still had a great time being together!

Smile for the camera!
Jenna is a Daddy's girl!
It was a little chilly that day and Little Robby forgot his jacket, so by the end of the game I was sharing my jacket with him. Jenna decided that she wanted in on the warm fun too!
