Awards Night

So this was not your traditional awards night for 7 year old baseball. I sit and wonder how much cooler things are now and the traditional pizza party and a trophy don't exist anymore. The expectations to WOW a kid have greatly increased to an Awards Night at Hawaiian Falls. I wrote it Hawaiian Falls. Is that Crazy or what? It is cool and was quite fun, but how do you top that? Hawaiian Falls as a Thank You for only 3 games due to all the rain outs- 3 games Hawaiian Falls- Thank You for playing. I am just amazed at what we do to please the kids these days. I am waiting for the day where I get to say- "In my days". It is coming...
Pictures little grainy- from a phone.

Play Day 2009

Wet/Rainy/Cool in Morning, Humid/Sticky/Hot in Afternoon-
Had a lot of fun and Travis got 4th in the Big Loop (Not sure how far- 1/2 mile or so) and 1st Place in the 25, 50 & 75 yd Dash!

King Tut

Travis has been asking for months about going to the Dallas Museum of Art to see King Tut. Not sure if I had talk about it or what. He does see the signs for it on our way to church. So, since it was raining here in the Dallas Area, when we got up, I asked him he wanted to go. We took off. He was pretty excited, but didn't really know how he would react to it all. I believe it was a little overwhelming due to the amount of people present and not understanding the culture- He is only 7. He liked looking at everything and we talked about as much as I could. In boy fashion- his favorite parts were the x-rays of King Tut and how old he was when he died. Oh, he also liked that no one knew how he died and listening to the theories. We also got to watch a 3-D Egypt movie on the daily living of Egyptians in that time and the movie was more about King Ramses and Queen Nefretiti and the multitude of Pyramids they built in honor of themselves. This culture is just so interesting to me. Also the ability to share with Travis how this History relates and is talked about in the Bible. I was able to talk to Travis about Moses and the movie that he has seen many times- The Prince of Eqypt. We could not take any pictures. :<(

We also got to spend some time at the park feeding some ducks and Travis trying out his new Rocket Fishing Rod he bought with B-Day and Christmas money he saved up.




Had to throw in a Baseball picture! We have only had 2 games and 4 rain outs! Hadn't played much for his first year.
