Boise Blast Tournament

This weekend McCall had a softball tournament in Boise. This was the last tournament for the Pirates until August. They take the month of July off. What will we do next weekend without softball???? We got to visit with my Auntie Sachi and cousin Debbie on Friday when they came to one of the games. Auntie Sachi ended up coming all 3 days to see McCall play.

The Pirates were hoping to repeat as the reining champs but ended up taking 2nd place. They lost to a California team by 4-3. McCall ended up hurting her foot during the game before the championship, so she didn't get to play the championship game. I guess it was the day for our family to get injured (Sunday)... While watching McCall's second game Sunday morning I got hit in the back with a foul ball. It wasn't that bad because it wasn't a fast flying foul ball. During the championship game my Auntie Sachi got hit hard in the head with a fast flying foul ball. She didn't lose consciousness and we immediately put ice on her head. There were lots of helpful and concerned spectators that came over to check on her. There was a lady who was a nurse that came over and a dad from the opposing team came over who was a fireman/EMT. He was very helpful and asked Auntie Sachi if she was having any concussion symptoms (headache, blurred vision, nausea, ringing ears, unable to walk straight).

We stayed at the Doubletree Inn which is right next to the Boise River. Along the Boise River there is a trail that I ran on Saturday morning. I can handle long runs like that along the river with the rushing river sound and the river smell and the trees! We got to eat lunch that day at the Eastside Drive-In. It was featured on the Food Networks Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Great bacon cheeseburger that was humongous!

Since this was the last tournament of the Pirates spring/summer softball season I put together a little video. Thanks Pirates for all the weekends we've spent together the past 3 months!
