Started the RV, took the family to Pigeon Forge

We packed our bags, started the RV, and traveled down to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee this past weekend for my son’s baseball tournament. It’s a good four hour drive from our house in Kentucky.

Pigeon Forge is a great place to go and take your family during the fall. They have the Great Smoky Mountains, the black bears, all kinds of outlet shops, fun and games for the kids.

The tournament was a USSSA event with teams from North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The fields needed help, as there was a six-inch lip all around the infield. It looked like they needed to bring in several truck loads of dirt. The weather was great, the competition was real good, and the kids had a blast.

My son just turned 9 years old. He’s really developed a nice swing from the left side of the plate. In fact, he hit his farthest shot that I’ve seen him hit so far by hitting a line shot deep to center field hitting the top of the 200’ fence. Maybe next year he can hit them over!

Only two more weeks to go with fall ball. After this year’s baseball season is over (remember we’ve played over 150 games so far), it will be a good break before we get back in the swing of things again.
