WWII Re-enactment ...

We went to the Dakota County Fairgrounds for the World War II Re-enactment and this boy was over-the-moon excited:

Alex LOVES guns and this bazooka immediately caught his eye:

I don't know if you can see the excitement on his face, he said, "OH MY, this is cool":

Time for the battle to begin:

And they surrender:

The excitement on his face was due to them letting him put on a helmet (he LOVES hats of all kinds!) and play shoot a gun:

He decided we should get one of these motorcycles with a side-car for him to ride in:

He explored all of the tents and declared he WOULD be a soldier in the re-enactment when he's an adult:

It was such a fun day - for me the best part was seeing his excitement over all of it!

Play Ball...

My little ball player had another game, it was VERY exciting!  They were down 3-13 and came back in the last 2 innings for a tie game.

Love this picture of the boys lined up waiting to bat!

Another reason it was an exciting game, on the field next to us was Alex's friend Max: 

 Max and Alex are both 9 year olds in the 3rd grade (quite a size difference though!):

 They wanted to take a funny photo:

Alex continues to enjoy playing and his coaches are so patient and kind!

Love to read...

I love seeing Alex sitting outside reading!  Nothing beats a good book!
