Baseball, Hotdogs, S'mores and Picnics

Saturday Josh had his first ever baseball game!

He's on the Marlin's this year. He did really well! He was up to bat twice and got two hits.

He scored once (he ran all the way from 2nd base to score) and he was forced out at home once.

He takes after his mother in the fielding department!

Actually, it's very hard when there are so many kids on the field to actually get a "turn" fielding. The ball came straight to him twice -- once it caught a bad hop and went between his legs, the other time he was looking toward the outfield and the ball rolled right on by him!

Sam liked watching Josh play too -- or rather, he liked playing in the dirt!

That evening, we had a family BBQ and lit up the Chimnea again. This time, we made S'mores! Josh was a pro at feeding pine cones into the fire!

On Sunday we went back to the State Park up near our house and had a family picnic. It was a very hectic week for us here with getting the new floor, and all sorts of errands associated with it, Sam's ophthalmologist appointment, play dates an such. It was nice to get out and go "exploring" with just us.

After we took our walk, we had a picnic and the boys played on the playground. We left when Josh announced he'd had "too much fresh air" and was getting a tummy
ache.

Perhaps he was right... he's home from school today with a 101F temp!
