gutter bawl

a new game to play.

traditional final camping trip

this past weekend was our traditional final camping trip of the summer with the cousins at holland state park. we had great weather and great company.

here boden and heidi are throwing sand in the channel.  of course, we hauled the sand all the way from our campsite.  we didn't think that we could use the sand within throwing distance of the channel.

boden had to stand on all of the rocks.

heidi did some.

another rock.

and another.

as we were heading back towards our campsite we saw a large freighter going through.

on saturday morning we played at the beach.  it was cool and foggy.

the water was cold enough that even boden didn't spend much time in it.

we even got to see a fog-bow.

of course hanging with the cousins was the best part.

wagon time

boden and heidi had fun doing the little red wagon with caleb and logan.

whitecaps

at the end of august, boden and i went to our second whitecaps game of the season.  like the first game, this one also went into extra innings.  also like the first one, we left before the end.  unlike the first one, the whitecaps ended up winning this game.  they beat the lake county captains (so, the tigers beat the indians in the minors, too).  we did have a lot of fun.  i believe that boden was made for baseball game food.  he can go to town on ice cream, popcorn, and chips.  

here boden is sporting his ice cream dish, turned hat.  oh, and his skateboarding wounds.
