Saturdays

Here are some pictures from our past couple of Saturdays.  Two Saturdays ago we went to our parish picnic.  It was so hot out that we didn't stay long.  Jack and I went down this big slide (later Jack went down by himself).

Patrick sweated in the shade of the stroller.  I gave him my water bottle filled with ice and water to cool off.

Jim and Jack rode the roller coaster.

Jack has had tee ball the past two Saturdays.  At the first practice he didn't really want to do much of what the rest of the team was doing.  This past Saturday was better.  It's pretty cute to watch a bunch of 3 year olds learn how to play tee ball.

We warmed up with a run.

Then we practiced throwing and catching.

Next the team gathered around Coach Mark for a hitting lesson.

We practiced fielding...

...and hitting.

Finally we ran the bases!

After practice we played at the playground for a bit before going home.

Last weekend (Father's Day weekend) we had wanted to go camping, but it was incredibly hot.  We decided to do something "cool" instead and went to Onondaga Cave.  It's a cool 57 degrees inside!  The tour was a little over an hour and a half, but the kids did great.

Bright flash in dark cave:

Jack was excited to finally get to touch something.  Visitors are not allowed to touch anything in the cave, but we were allowed to touch this stalagmite.

When we came home we played and had a picnic dinner on the floor while we watched the Cardinals win the World Series (we watched the DVD from the 2006 Series).
