Little Golfers

My little leftie!

And Brayden the pro

First Slip-n-Slide Adventure!

We ran some errands yesterday after doing school, then stopped at Target to take advantage of their Slip-n-Slide sale :) This was their very first adventure on one. They loved it, and there were no injuries. An upcoming trip the the chiropractor maybe, but at least no ER visits.

And the rest of these pics just look painful.... I thought this was supposed to be fun?

Brayden's Game Tonight

He had a great game tonight!

Cheering on his teammates

Coming home

Safe on first!

He got his friend Donovan out, and he felt bad about that.

And a very close call....
but the first baseman dropped the ball
even though he tagged the base, he didn't have the ball
Can you see the look of disappointment on the first baseman's face, and relief on Bryan's face? He was first base coach tonight ;)

A catch!
Of course I missed some great photo ops- like when he caught a hot one on first base with his BARE right hand, and his last hit into right field.

Ry enjoyed riding his bike for the first time this year!

Cast Party Bonfire

A very nice family invited the entire cast and families/helpers of the cast to a bonfire party. It was such a nice time! I took a few pictures early in the evening so it appears fairly vacant, but there were about 80? people all together. The kids had a great time playing and eating, and I had a nice time mingling and chatting with fellow home schooling parents. I hope to get together with the other families again soon.

The boys enjoyed playing horseshoes

And playing on the tire swing

Badminton

There was SO much food! Hot dogs, potato salad, chips, dips, pretzels, salads, cookies, s'mores...

And the very nice bonfire!

Baseball

Here are some pics of Brayden's baseball game last week.
He has been consistently playing first base, and Rylan has been playing first base for Tee Ball.

Peter Pan!

Here are some photos from the Peter Pan musical-

Brayden is "Curly" a lost boy. He is dressed in ripped jean shorts, a white and brown shirt with a part of a black sweatshirt.

Rylan is "Cecco" a pirate, ad wearing a bandanna, white and black shirt and red and white pinstripe pants.

It was a wonderful experience for the kids. Exhausting for me, but great for them. They TOTALLY came out of their shell, and are much more comfortable singing and being silly in public now. I do believe they gained a lot more self confidence by participating. They feel such a sense of pride and accomplishment, too. Stage Right is planning another home school production for this fall, and again next spring.
