Sam took yesterday off to spend time at home with us. We packed a picnic and brought bikes and balls to hang out and play at the state park around the corner from our house. The weather was perfect! Sam and the kids (minus Baili, who was at a birthday party) played baseball and I just sprawled out on a blanket and took pictures.Kami was super funny because she had no concept of baseball or how to play so when she was batting and connected with the ball, she flung the bat and ran to whatever base she liked (usually #2) and then she'd run to a bbq grill or some other random thing (that wasn't a base). She was so funny to watch, especially in her little black boots and skirt........lol
Ryan was an emotional wreck because he couldnt resist trying to run to the next base and Jacob always caught up with him and tagged him out. Sam and I were trying to teach him that he needed to stay once he was "safe" but time and time again he took off running trying to get to third base or home and time and time again Jacob would catch him and then the whole park got to hear the meltdown - good times!!! Sam and I were laughing which didn't help.....
For all the drama - and there was plenty - we had a good time. We're going to buy an annual pass to the park because it seems to be our little family picnic spot. It reminds me that the good times dont have to monumental or costly, just being together is what matters.
