Street Tennis

Not a bad setup.  If they could only return serve :-)

Cousins at The Pool

We all had a super time at the pool.

LI cousins are visiting!

Out for breakfast.  Then snack at the bar. All revolves around food.

Hooked On Baseball

Reuben and Jacob are really into baseball. They can play a long time together relatively fight-free pitching to each other.

Nats lose :-(

Of course day we come they end 8 game winning streak.  But it was a great father's Day.

Father's Day At The Nats

Second inning underway. Here with the cub scout troop.

Back for the weekend

I spent last week in St Louis working a proposal. Was hoping to get in at a decent time last night to be fresh for the weekend. Unfortunately my flight was cancelled which then led to the scramble to get out of St Louis that was wracked with delays all around. I finally did make on a different airline; I think the last flight out of St Louis. Got into National airport at 1:15am.
We did have a late morning; got to sleep to about 8:30. Then everyone went to IHOP for breakfast. Leisurely breakfast spent reading the paper... and comics


The kids are still so into baseball. Practicing in the backyard all the time. They wanted to bat so we hit the batting cage for the first time. They did pretty well even though the slowest cage is still a bit faster than their machine pitch league.

More Baseball Practice

Reuben is now determined to try out for the Double AA team in the Fall. If he keeps practicing like this he very may well make it.




Pretty good practice regime going...

Team Pool Party - After The Game

Most of the team met back up about an hour after the game for a pool party at a nearby community pool. Kids had a great time playing with all the other boys on the team. One of the boys brought water shotguns for everyone! Later all the boys moved to the diving board which finally got our boys to try it out. Hopefully they will use at our pool. Though our pool makes you take a swim test before using diving board. Reuben and Jacob can easily pass, but seem to be afraid to ask to take the test.

Trophy Ceremony


Reuben also won "Most Improved Player" since this was his first year of little league and by the end was one of the stars of the team.

Diving Board Escapades

Tipper found the cool spot

Season Finale

Bottom of first and Reuben and Jacob both singled with Jacob driving Reuben home.

Late Afternoon Dip

We hit the pool this afternoon around 5pm. It was perfect out. Some clouds had come in, but it made it not too hot. Water was nice and everyone had fun.

Little league game

Team doing well, on verge of victory. 

A Perfect Night For A BBQ

It was such a beautiful evening that on my way home I stopped off to pick up some hamburgers and hot dogs.... and some watermelon!

Karen is off in Florida, we missed her at our fun dinner.
