Playoffs
During most of this baseball season, this post topic is not one I would have expected having much to write about. Ian's team has managed to turn that thought around and then some.
They managed to end the season with a tie against the only undefeated team in the league and have managed to advance to the semifinals in the playoffs. Next game is Saturday at 11AM which will be quite a change from the late evening regular season games.
Ian pitched a great inning, had a couple of good hits, and had some great fielding. It was a great game to watch and has us all looking forward to two more great games :)

Wet and Wild at Salem Pond
(click the pic for the rest of the gallery)
Headed down to Salem Park for some Memorial weekend fun in the sun. Most everyone was there and the kids had a blast playing in the water.
Aimee started out the day taking the kids out to breakfast with her parents. I started the day at work. We met up at the batting cages where I got smoked by Ian's mad baseball smashing skilz. I usually school him pretty good, but wasn't on my game today.
Then we headed down to Salem. Stopped at Hickory Kist on the way to snag some sandwiches and fudge. Matt brought water blasters for the kids to battle with. Avyrlie does not have the warrior spirit and took all attacks personally, melting into a pile of tears each time droplets flew her way.
Jessica got in some training time in the pond swimming almost the full course. She didn't drown and only held on to ducks for support twice so I think she'll do well ;)

Looking at Ladybugs
I put a bag of ladybugs in the garden and now Avyrlie's favorite thing to ask me is what they'll eat. "Will they eat the watermelon? Will they eat the strawberries? Will they eat the tomatoes? Can we make them eat my brother?"
