Aldi's Slide

After months of cold weather, the temperature finally got warm enough to break out the old water slide.  Matt always jokes about how it is the best thing we ever bought at Aldi's and he's not far off the mark.  The boy's followed Matt around through the entire setup process, helping to hammer the stakes in the ground and get the extension cord and hose hooked up.  The minute the water started running you would have thought we were at Venture River.

Thrasher T-Ball

The Thrashers definitely gave us a lot of entertainment this summer.  It was fun watching the kids learn the basic rules of the game and not having a care in the world!     

Ben loved batting more than he did playing in the field.  He told me he just didn't get enough action in the field and sometimes he just liked to play with the dirt and watch the birds instead!!    The playing in the dirt was obvious because by the end of the game Ben was the dirtiest kid on the team!! 

It was a joy watching Matt coach.  I think they both had a wonderful season.  If you ask Ben he will tell you his team always won because they were the best!!!

Reelfoot

Going to Reelfoot never gets old.  We love the food and the kids love going across the street to visit the animals and look at the lake.   Like usual, Ben runs full speed and I am a nervous wreck while Sam on the other hand walks slow as a turtle and examines everything!
