Night Baseball

Hi everybody!  No big news...no progress on our visas.  Ugh!  But we have had some fun!  We got to play  a night-baseball game with a group from our hall.  So much fun!  They told us before-hand that they don't really know all of the rules and we saw that it was true!  They don't do "3 strikes you're out", they just let everyone on the team take a turn at bat and add up how many runs are scored.  They didn't know about foul balls either so there were lots of runs scored while we chased down balls!  They also had one regular wooden bat and one little wooden Teeball bat... surprisingly, most of them preferred the Teeball bat.  So strange to see these grown men swinging that tiny bat!

On another note, the inevitable finally happened...Casey fell in service.  And not just a little trip, but into a city drain.  They are covered by these huge concrete covers that appear secure but only some of them are.  So while walking in service Thursday evening she stepped on the corner of one and it gave way.  Her leg and foot went right down in and then when she fell forward to keep from going all the way in the pit, the concrete cover closed back on her foot!  Ouch!!  No major damage...except to her pride!  Bruised and a littlw swollen but up and playing baseball the very same night!  Must be that her body is just so used to the clumsiness that it recovers quickly :)
