Parker's 10th Birthday Party

We didn't have Parker's birthday party until he end of May because he wanted to take several friends to watch a Cleburne Railroaders baseball game and we had to wait for their season to begin. 

The eye clinic was sweet enough to let us use their suite for his party. Parker invited several of his school and baseball buddies to come celebrate with him.

Because it was Memorial Day, they had several special pregame activities including a sky diver who entered the stadium with an American flag.

Because it was his birthday, Parker got to go on the field between innings for a special activity. He was thrown three fly balls and if he caught one of them, he won a gift certificate to a local restaurant. Unfortunately, the kid throwing the balls threw three very uncatchable fly balls and Parker got close but missed them all. He was very disappointed but they gave him a tshirt as a consolation prize.

The game went into 13 innings but there were fireworks after the game, so the boys wanted to stay until the bitter end. I don't think we got into bed until midnight!

Parker has some great friends and I was so glad they were all able to come out and help him celebrate his birthday!
