4. I had a very busy weekend! On Friday, my son played in 2 baseball games. He pitched in the first game and his team won! On Saturday, my family and I went to the beach. We went fishing and kayaking, it was a beautiful day! Then, on Sunday, I graded papers for 5 hours. Afterwards, we went back to ballpark where my son played in 2 more games. His team won the tournament!
