The Joy of Painting

Fireflies

I can't believe we are only now taking Silas to his first baseball game.  It was warmish, but fun.  We missed the much anticipated 7th inning stretch with a poorly timed restroom break, but did get to eat ice cream out of a hat.  I think the fireworks and bus ride to the field were Silas's highlights.  It was superhero night, hence the cape, although I wouldn't put it past us to wear it on any given day. Thanks for the tickets, Elizabeth, and thanks for the company, Kristin!

This bat was a hit.

Happy Campers!

We headed straight from our last day of school to the lake for camping with Silas's newly declared best friend, Lacy's mom.  We learned our lesson from last time and brought our air mattress.  Now to get rid of that moist morning feel and camping would be the ideal pastime. It helps when your cousin has the plushest campsite and the weather is timed perfectly to your schedule.  We boated, skied, tubed, swam, ate, smored, and enjoyed torrential downpour from the shelter of a deck the size of my house.
