Baseball!

It is that time of year again...
BASEBALL!
 
This may be the last year that I have all three boys on the same team, and I really miss the year that Cat played, too.
We had opening day and are cooling off and resting before our first game. 
The boys have landed some excellent positions with James as a pitcher, Conner as a catcher and William as Third base.
Cat can't help herself and is the official "Bench Sister", her uniform is in the works.
It was a splendid morning for Opening Day, warm, slightly overcast and NO WIND (of course, we are paying for it now with high wind.)

A just a bit of horsing around

Waiting for the start.  Bench sister present!
 

Hats off to the REDS

Go TEAM

Have to hand it to the little guys, the future of baseball

I love watching them run "in a line"

The curiosity factor of chalked lines

PLAY BALL!
 
And how was your day?

The Little Oasis on the Prairie

Just off the base Highway, is a small sign pointing the way to Oasis State Park.
For a piddling five dollars, you can park your trailer, saddle up and take to the Sand Hills.
 
 
 
 
After, of course, your daughter puts your horse's forelock in a "unicorn" up-do.
 


Then your daughter needs to take a photo of you taking a photo...




The Entry to the Sand Hills.  Mind you, these are the only hills in our very flat area.
After running up and down in thick sand, Bella concedes defeat and ceases to act like a fruit bat.
 


Sam takes in the view in an attempt to avoid climbing the hills again.


 
All in all, Oasis is a fun place to take a ride.  Just bring a rake, because anything deposited at the trailer site has to leave the site!

Regional Science Fair

 
So proud of Caitlyn and her BFF, Cheyenne.  They proudly were part of the group representing Dora at the Regional Science Fair.  I am delighted to see so many girls in a S.T.E.A.M. related program!
 
Way to go girls!
