Tristan was on the Pony Met’s this season and his team finished 1st with a final record of 14-5-1. The Olive league only had 2 Pony teams so they played interleague with Santa Ana Pony, Irvine Pony, and Garden Grove Pony. Tristan mostly played Left Field, Right Field and Second Base.

Tristan’s 6th grade class put on Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’ play and Tristan played Bottom. Bottom is what was termed a ‘rude mechanical’ basically a group of common people who are not too bright and are in the play to provide humor. In this play Bottom is the head of a small group of men who are going to do a play for the local ruler. Puck (a farie) sees them practicing in the forest and decides to give Bottom a donkey’s head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Midsummer_Night%27s_Dream#Plot (click if you want a longer explanation of the story).

We just started a new season of fall ball baseball. This season Tristan is on the Indians. The coach he really liked wasn’t able to draft him, the coach of the Indians grabbed him first, which was kinda a letdown. But he’s having fun.

Me and the boys went to see the Angels play the Oakland A’s, which was a very exciting game as it was before the Angels got their big lead in the west. The crowd was loud and the game was very exciting, and the Angel’s won. After the game, the boys were able to run the bases on the field, which they both thought was cool. We’re going to a playoff game against the Royals on Friday. The boys are in for a surprise since they thought the As game was loud. Hopefully the Angels will win this one as well.

Well this is late, but here is a picture of the boys on the first day of school. They are looking kinda sleepy because they had been used to sleeping in over the summer. It’s hard to believe that Tristan is in his last year of elementary school and Gavin is an upper grader now.
So sleepy
