Since the boys have been playing baseball this year, they really appreciated seeing the home team play. A home run in the first inning and a few foul balls bouncing nearby kept things interesting. Also, the playground inside the park helped. They still don’t know all the words to sing during the 7th inning stretch, but they are starting to enjoy the game a lot more now. They even went down to the dugout to get autographs after the game. Pretty cool.
The boys are playing baseball this year – the first time for both of them. Joshua is more naturally athletic and is hitting everything in machine pitch. Jordan is learning about the goofy pitching in the first year of kids pitching and is getting on base one way or the other every game. Daddy’s learning about sunburn during the day games and bug bites in the evenings.
The boys went out to the local BMX track today. They were a little upset at first because there was an actual race there, but after a while, they enjoyed watching the “pros” take the jumps and do tricks. Once the race was over, the boys got to ride the track on their own – but didn’t jump quite as high as the older guys had done. Lots of fun!
After the tree-cutting exercise, we went out to the park for some kite flying and baseball throwing. One nice thing about living here is all of the big park
s and outdoor rec
reation. The kids loved it!
Daddy and the boys went skiing this weekend. Even though they had never tried it before, by the time evening rolled around they were going down the hill like old pros. The boys ignored the cold for the most part and just enjoyed the snow.
