An all-around good day

Got up this morning, did the basic household chore stuff, and then packed up the kids and headed to Ferry Road Park where we had lunch with some other co-op families. I met a couple families that are new to the area, which was fun--I always enjoy meeting new people.

From the park we went to the Salvation Army Thrift Store to shop for some work clothes for Julianne to take on Teen Missions. We found two pairs of pants and three t-shirts for $8.50. Now that's my kind of price! We headed to Walmart and get her a pair of nice jeans. (Her travel jeans have to be brand new and dark blue--no stonewashing, tears, or the "worn look". Try finding that in Julianne's size!) After trying on approximiately four thousand pairs of jeans from the girls', women's, and boys' departments, we finally found one pair that fit. Hurray.

After Walmart we went to the doctor's office to get Julianne her tetanus shot and a prescription for Malaria medication. We came home, packed up a picnic dinner, and headed off to Caleb's baseball game for another evening of excellent playing.

Caleb's first time up to bat, he hit an incredible line drive that skimmed the ground once before hitting the home-run fence. (I admit 4,000 pairs of jeans was an exageration--this is not.) His second time up to bat, he hit a pop fly that went waaaaaaay out into right field--almost to the fence. Unbelievable the power that little guy can put behind a bat!

His performance in the field was outstanding too. He's got lots of hustle, he throws with power and accuracy (I can manage neither) and he is so into the game! The game ended in a tie, which was fine with us. I wouldn't have believed this team could come so far in such a short time.
