Mushroom Hunting

This year we took the kids out mushroom hunting.  This was Hoyt's first time hunting for mushrooms.  The kids did great.  They enjoyed being outside and in nature.  We probably went out for over 2 hours of constant walking through very steep hills and thorn bushes and the kids never complained....not even once!!!!!  WE didn't even get very many mushrooms, only like 20 of them.  But, the kids still had fun!!!  They were definitely troopers!!! 

Kali's Softball Season

Kali improved so much in her quick little softball season.  Due to the spring weather, they only had 2 1/2 practices and only 5 games.  This was Kali's first year playing with all girls (1st and 2nd graders).  The coach pitches the ball, they went through the entire batting line-up, and the girls can get out. 

Kali was able to hit the ball every time from the coach pitching the ball.  She never had to use the T-ball.  She also improved in fielding.  She had a little trouble playing First base one inning and instead of paying attention to the throw she was paying attention to the runner and the fielder made a perfect throw for Kali to catch....if she had been watching the ball.....however since she wasn't, the ball hit her right in the eye!!!  Kali was tough and had a few tears, but once we put some ice on it, she was back in the game so that she could hit!!!

All the girls improved a lot this season!!! We can't wait for next season!!! :)
