Fun Stuff

Nothing too big happening this week... Just some fun summer stuff. Our fabulous friend Mary has organized a weekly kick-ball game for all of our neighborhood kids. We meet every Tuesday morning at Jefferson. Mary brings the ball, we pick teams and its good times from there. this week, we ended up with almost 30 kids, from pre-K up to a few HS seniors. It was so much fun. The kids set up their own rules, pick teams and referee the games. It is so funny to watch kids just show up on bikes and skateboards and join a team. Every few innings they would stop and re-pick sides just to keep things even. If anyone every wants a good pick-up kickball game. We'll be there every Tuesday 10am, Jefferson Elementary

Caleb had a minor incident while he was playing kickball. He fell and slid across hte blacktop. He scraped up his forehead pretty good. Of course he has matching wounds on both knees, one elbow and a hand. It was a pretty good fall, and really funny too. It doesn't seem to bug him too much, I think he'll be fine.

Yesterday, the boys and I met up with our friends Robin, Abby and Will. We played at the South Hill water park. It was a super fun day. the weather was great, cooler than it has been, which was nice. The kids had so much fun, Abby and little will loved the lazy river. I think they would still be there if Robin hadn't taken them home. Will of course found a few other friends there to play with. Caleb tried out his life jacket for the first time, he was a little unsure about the whole bobbing in the water stuff, but he got into it after a while. I'll have to remember to get some pictures of him in the life jacket, it's too funny.

Here is Abby, Will, Caleb and Will, all catching some rays

I tried to get a picture of Will and Caleb, but Caleb had other ideas. He wanted no part of standing still, big surprise
