Random Pictures that Elaine forgot about...

Some random pictures that Elaine forgot about by now. The summer started off cool.

Mara is tall enough to drive a go-kart. She did great until they told her she had to stop. She did a nice victory lap and crashed into the side to stop. It was better than the other kid that crashed into the line of cars to stop.

I got to drive with Ben and Ashlee.... So did Elaine...




Mara and I went on a daddy-daughter date to this dinner and dance on base. She really liked it.


And another random picture that Elaine took from our patio.

And I just love my cute kids...

Batter up!!!!

Elaine has been loving coaching Mara's softball team. This is Mara's first year playing softball, but Elaine is quite the expert. She likes it even more now that she found a parent who pitches for them. That was one skill she lost over the years. She lets the girls pick which position they play (for at least one inning). Mara just doesn't like outfield.

Mara came up to bat with the bases loaded... She swings hard...

but it's a little early. (The softball is the yellow right over home plate.)

Mara made a great catch when she was playing 3rd base. It was the first game they won this season and they crushed the other team (My boss's daughter plays on the other team.)

Ashlee and Ben had fun during the game too. Ben is enjoying his T-ball, but doesn't like playing outfied either.
