Travelin' on down to baseball camp and more

This week Ethan got the great opportunity to attend a baseball camp held by the Arkansas Travelers. Today was his first day and he had THE BEST time! One of his friends he met playing baseball this Spring told him about the camp and it was definitely something we had to attend. It was so organized and each kid went to different "stations" with real "Traveler" players showing them the ropes. They worked on base running, stealing, hitting and catching. All the fundamentals. Scarlett and I stayed in the stands and watched and really enjoyed watching the boys have SO MUCH FUN! :) Oh to be young again! The next two days should prove to be a lot of fun.


After all that playing baseball we just HAD to go swimming. Any excuse is a good excuse for the kids to get in the water. Just look at Ethan, it must be the life to just chill in the inner tube and relax all afternoon! :) Scarlett has decided that "gobbles" are the way to swim. She likes being able to look underwater when she swims. I finally convinced her to let me tighten them down when I realized she was coming up with a eye full of water every time she went underwater! We had a very busy afternoon and if all that wasn't enough we then went to my softball game and the Travelers baseball game that night! :)

The "Trav" were playing a home stand and if they won they would win the championship so it was a exciting come from behind win! :) It was one of the best games we have seen! Ethan and Scarlett had to be exhausted but they had a great time. Ethan's friend, Hayden, whom he met playing baseball this Spring has season tickets so were lucky enough to sit with them. Hayden is SO cute and has such wonderful parents! and I am not just saying that since you said you read my blog! :) Jack and I have really enjoyed getting to know this family! and Ethan and Hayden have hit it off! I am so glad that Ethan is able to make friends of his own and not just the kids of my friends..which is great and I am so thankful for.. but having some independence in friendship making is a wonderful thing. Poor Nancie, Hayden's mother, Scarlett kept her occupied with her mouth half the game! You know if Scarlett ever gets a captive audience she will talk NON STOP! Thanks "Ms. Nancie" for putting up with her! :) After the game the boys had their balls signed. They just loved that! They talked about it the whole way home. Our day finally came to an end at midnight! and we get to start all over and do it again tomorrow.
