After a day of playing, we wrap it up with a beautiful sunset. It’s like heaven on earth.
and yes, that's my kids still playing in the water :)

We love ...
… Lake Tahoe and it’s finally warm enough that we can enjoy the beach. Our favorite is Sand Harbor. The kids would go every single day if I had the time to take them every day. They are happy for hours and hours up there.

Mother knows best... really
It seems like every time I tell Olivia to do or not do something she asks “Why?” Well, because mother knows best. It’s not that I’m smarter, it’s just that I’ve lived longer and know what will happen. But sometimes I get tired of her asking over and over again. When that happens, I let her make the mistake and decide for herself if it was worth it or not. So far, she eventually saw things the way I see them but last week my method hit a snag.
She asked and asked and asked… and asked to go ride horses with Grandpa. The problem is that that she is terribly allergic to horses but I decided to let her go on a ride and then deal with the consequences. I’m not completely cold hearted, she went fully dosed with allergy medicine and Grandma gave as much as possible again after the ride, and the next day. But still, this is how she looked (and it didn’t feel any better than it looks)…

You would think that she would give up on horses but she decided it was worth the consequence (she was hurting but she was so happy) and she already begging Grandpa to take her riding again. Mother knows best... but she can only do so much!

Baseball
Henry played baseball for the first time this year. He didn’t always hit the ball but when he did it was good and I’m proud of him for sticking with it.
Getting ready to bat.
Making sure he didn't hit a foul.
Running to first base.
Safe on first base.
Catcher.
1st base.
Pitcher (they have pitching machines in Minor B leagues but still have a player cover the position.) Notice the football helmet pitchers get to wear... Safety First :)
In the end, he loved it. He learned a lot, like not being afraid of the ball (we’re still working on that a bit). He made new friends and he had lots of fun. I'm so proud of my Henry.
