Driveway baseball

Calvin has been asking for sugar snap peas and carrots to eat at mealtimes. Dan says he feels a little bad about it. He told Calvin that those veggies would make him strong enough to hit Rob's garage across the street. Calvin has taken that goal and method pretty seriously. Sweet buddy.

We have spent a lot of time playing in the driveway pitching to Jack and Calvin. Only in the last few days have we put the garage door down to act as a backstop. What took us so long??

Jack loves to swing the bat, but he doesn't quite understand keeping his eye on the ball yet. The game is more about the pitcher throwing it into Jack's established swing. When he connects, it is quite a hit since he swings so hard! He starts dancing around saying, "I did save the day!" That is some sort of paraphrase from a show he's loving called Super Why.

Luke gets in on the action, but mostly by causing interference for the batter. Here was a sweet interaction that Dan caught the other day.

Here's are a few more....Luke playing peek-a-boo and Calvin and Jack riding the train together at Pullen Park. Apparently Jack thought it was too loud.
