Camping at Home

The boys really wanted to go camping.  But we were just too busy to get away and I'm not really sure where we could camp around here.  And I'm not really sure the boys are even ready for full blown camping.  I know I'm not sure, actually.  So what do you do when you don't want to or can't camp?  The next best thing.  Have a cook-out on the fire pit and set up the tent in the basement.

 Hot dogs cooked over an open flame are the best.

My little campers.  They had a great time cooking and eating outside and sleeping downstairs in the basement.  I enjoyed sleeping in my own bed upstairs.

Playing a Little T-Ball

John decided he wanted to try t-ball this summer.  He told me he wants to try every sport first before he does anything twice.  I'm not sure what he means by every sport, but I'm game to give it a go.

 Anders really doesn't think it is fair that he is too little to play.  He wanted to feel like part of the team.

 John's team is the Orange Team which he thinks is a horrible name.  He came up with a whole list of other possible team names, but in the end the team just wanted to stick with Orange.  He's a team player though and decided to go with the flow.  I think they should be called Beauty and the Beasts since the team has only one girl.

 Getting ready to bat.

 This was the first game.  The season starts with hitting from a T and ends with coach pitch.  

 #8 makes it, in a very roundabout way, to second base.

 Playing first base and ready to go.

He is having a great time playing.  If you ask John his favorite sport he will usually say which ever one he is currently playing.  But, when I asked him if he wanted to play t-ball next season he said he'd think about it.

Disney Fun

The boys and Sophie had a great time riding rides, seeing characters, going to shows, eating food and getting spoiled by Debbie and Pam.

 John is most like Goofy, but Anders feels Goofy is someone he can look up to.

 Anders was doing his shy routine.  Maybe because Minni is a girl.  I can't wait to get the picture disc from Disney because there is a great shot of Gus with Minni and he looks disgusted to be taking a picture with her.

 Sophie with Minnie and the dog named Sophie.  

 Eating at Chef Mickey!

 Can you tell Gus was excited to see all of the Disney characters?

 Evidently this Minnie is good enough for Gus.  Maybe because she is wearing his favorite color and not that pink, girly dress.

 Spend a day with Anders and you are sure to see this face at least 10 times.

 Gus was just the happiest boy in the room.

 This is the coolest bike.  I love Anders and Gus sitting in the front.  I also love how there is no way on earth that John is able to help with the pedaling. I'm sure he tried his hardest though.

 Gus was just hugging and kissing everything!  Except of course the pink clad Minni Mouse.  I will be sure to post that picture when it arrives. 

 Gus must have been in a really good and funny mood on this day.  He's ready with a pose!

Anders on the other hand was worn out.  This would probably be me about 20 minutes after dealing with these kiddos at Disney.  I don't know how Debbie and Pam survived!
