Softball and WaucondaFest

As we headed out the door to bike, the rain started, so we aborted, waited 30 minutes, then tried again after the rain ceased and the skies improved. Ha! Four miles into the ride, the rain resumed and we headed back home. Fortunately, the next window was longer, giving us a chance to get to Steve's softball game. Here he is, tracking down a fly in center field...



... and again, just getting nipped at first trying to beat out an infield hit.



Unfortunately, they lost 16-5, and now are 1-3 on the season.

Then we drove back to Wauconda and got supper at WaucondaFest while enjoying the music of Stockwood, a returning group to the Fest, known as the "World's youngest Beatle tribute band." I saw them here last year and had to see them again.



The four guys met as students at Dean Street Elementary School in Woodstock, Illinois in May of 2004. They do not lip sync, and yes they play their own instruments (quite proficiently, I might add) as well as all four contributing as vocalists. They really are a wonderful and remarkable group despite their young ages -- 11, 13, 14, and 15! Keep up the good work, fellows! (BTW: Their roadies include proud parents and grandparents.)
