This past weekend found us busily working around our yard to do the yearly yard cleanup. We had an enormous amount of mulch brought in, that we moved one wheelbarrow at a time, to all of the flower beds that needed mulching. That and the digging up of several flowerbeds took most of the day for Holland and I while Joe and Sydney worked hard to get the pond and stream up to working order. It was a very successful day of work, but we all longed for our day of rest!
If you know our family at all, you know that it is a rare site (this is the first time ever) to find us at a baseball game. Die hard football fans, yes, baseball fans, not so much. Well, after church on Sunday we thought it would be a fun outing for the family to go to the local minor league baseball game. So we headed off, for the first time in our 14 years in South Bend, to watch the South Bend Silverhawks play at The Cove. It was a fun time, as you can see it was by no means a “packed house” but we were seated directly behind home plate, and fully enjoyed ourselves.
Waiting for the opening pitch…had a lot of teaching to do. We realized how much our lack of affection for baseball showed in our children’s lack of knowledge of the sport!

A little cotton candy:)
The game was a little slow for London. Thank you Sydney for keeping her entertained!
When the game was over the kids were all allowed to come down onto the field and run the bases. London got passed by most of the kids, but she did make it all the way around!
Way to go Little girl! We had a great time relaxing as a family. Who knows, maybe we’ll do that again.
