Blake finally got his turn to play sports. His first game was almost a disaster. He was beet red from the heat and I was worried about him. It was 3 pm and 95 degrees. I poured a little water over his head to cool him off. Oh Boy! The wrath and tears that followed was epic. I felt so bad. His siblings kept pointing out that I made such a terrible choice. We were worried he'd never step on a field again. I bought him an ice cream cone and begged his forgiveness. Luckily, we had many more successful games.
I love this set of pictures. He saw his dad with his water bottle and ran to him.
We took advantage of the last hot day of the year. We went to a different place called Highland Glen Park.
I forgot Blake's life jacket so we used a bigger one of the Bonneys. I set up my lawn chair and turned to see Blake swimming to the middle of the pond where the big kids were on Kayaks. I yelled at him to come back. Luckily, Ken Bonney was in his suit and jumped in quickly to escort him back to the shore.
Tami let him take a turn on a kayak and he figured it out instantly.
Caleb had fun playing "erosion".
Blake had his first official birthday party. His 6th birthday was on a Friday and the party was that same afternoon.
Kyle helped the kids make light sabers out of plastic bats. (Picture further down.) Katie sprayed silly string at them so they could use their light sabers to fight.
We threw stuffed animals at them while they were on the trampoline. They tried to hit them with their light sabers.
Here's the light saber workshop.
A pinata followed by cake and ice cream. Thanks, Katie, Kyle, and Jeff for all you help.
