Cape Cod Summer - part 1

We made our way out to the Cape and spent some time with Tom's brother Tim and his family (Dana, Josh & Payton). They were really nice and I had fun playing with them on the beach. We hunted for hermit and green crabs, played some stickball (with a fishing net!), and even found a (dead) squid. Tim showed me some cool stuff about the squid, and then I pulled it's head off and ink squirted everywhere!

Last game of the season

Well, that went by fast. Seems like just yesterday we were having our first practice. It was a fun season and I learned some of the game fundamentals. Dad said I'm starting out as a pretty good ballplayer already. We'll play some more on our own over the summer and I'll get even better.

Greenbean!

Happy Father's Day

We had a lot of fun in the backyard today. All my grandparents were there, and Cousin Sophia with Uncle Spike & Aunt Stacey, Aiden and baby Austin with Uncle Blue & Aunt Shanny, and mom & dad of course. We hit wiffleballs and had water fights. All the kids ganged up on my dad and soaked him.

Uncle Spike and Uncle Blue enjoy a homebrew.

Dad was losing, so he cheated with the hose.

Alien shirt.

Check out my awesome new shirt. It's got an image of alien standing on his planet, some stars and meteors in the sky, and that's Earth off in the distance. Want to know the best part? I made it! I drew the picture and through a school fundraising program called Art To Remember, had the shirt made! Pretty cool, huh?

It's beach season!

Mom picked Ken up at the train station and we drove out to Cape Cod to meet up w/Tom and get the Summer started a little bit early. Some trips to the beach to hunt for shells, rocks and other critters, a drive to P-Town to see Tom's Kiehl's store design, seafood, time in the hammock.
