Babe Ruth World Series

Hello...
Want to talk about the Babe Ruth World Series. It is a a big event here in Millville. We were asked to be a host family. We are hosting 2 girls from Wausau, Wisconsin. Right now they are at practice. Its now 10:38 and I need to pick them up at 11am.
Anyway, I went with the Bus Driver to Philly International Airport Friday Aug10. You know the day the Brits foiled a plot to blow up planes with liquids and MP3 players. We picked up the Wausau girls along with 2 other teams from Colorado and Lodi California. There was no real food and the girls were well behaved dispite being tired and eating nothing but 75 cent chips. Just when the bus was going to leave, I got a call to wait for an umpire who had JUST flown in. So the bus driver and I went searching the ump at the airport. 20 minutes later we found him and when he went on the bus a BIG round of applause came from all 3 teams. As we drove on I-95 we went by Lincoln Financial Field where the Eagles were playing a pre-season game agains the Brown. I broke out singing FLY..EAGLES....FLY...ON THE ROAD TO VICTORY..E-A-G-L-E-S....EAGLES!! It was pretty darn fun for sure. Too bad the girls did not bring a cheese-head hat..... Well off to the practice field ...lunch and then a 3 pm game
