Baseball, Camp, and a Parade

Luke and Liam's baseball team won second place in their end of year tournament!

They had a water gun fight at their last practice.  It was hot and humid outside and lots of fun.  The parents surprised the boys and attacked with water guns!

Heading off to overnight camp for the first time.  This is three sets of fraternal twins.

Maple Grove Days Parade  We had a lively group of 10 boys!

We have enjoyed several fun activities since my last post.  I will begin with Luke and Liam's baseball tournament.  Luke and Liam's baseball season ended the day they left for camp (more on that later).  They played in a tournament and their team finished in second place.  They really enjoyed the season and learned a lot in the process.  It was fun to see their team get so much better in a few short months.  Liam really enjoyed pitching and did a great job actually throwing strikes which isn't easy to do at this age.  Luke loved being a catcher and playing first base.

Less than an hour after the tournament game finished, Luke and Liam left for their first overnight camp experience with our church.  They rode a bus about 2 hours north of here to a Lutheran church camp on the Shores of St. Andrew.  It was only three days and two nights so it was short enough to give them a camp experience without really a chance to miss us too much.  Liam said he missed all of us, but Luke seemed to do just fine.  They had a lot of fun with several close buddies and enjoyed swimming in the lake, paddle boarding, gaga ball, bonfires, chapel services and probably staying up way too late!  They returned home without showering or brushing their teeth, but thankfully they managed to keep up with everything they brought so overall it was a success.

Lastly, we all attended the Maple Grove Days parade in our town.  The boys really enjoy the parade and all the candy and other things they are able to gather along the route.  We went with several friends and had a lot of fun.
