We had a great time watching Caleb’s first game. It started with a slight delay while players watched a hot air balloon pass over the field. Benched for the first period, Caleb saw plenty of action during periods 2 through 4. He did great, going after the ball at the right times and moving it down the field when he had possession. He even got to make one of the throw-ins. You could tell by his smiles that he was loving the game, even as he was getting tired. The game was late (6:45 to 7:45), and we were not surprised when he when to sleep within seconds after his head it the pillow at bedtime. Good job, Caleb.

Yeah!!!
Sorry about the low resolution videos — I used the wrong camera setting (for tiny email video). Part 3 is better.

Hot and humid with plenty of rain, but I really enjoyed our time in The Hocking Hills. Having the family together in one place is the BEST. The grandsons’ enthusiasm and energy was contagious (well, maybe the enthusiasm to a greater degree than the energy). Hiking, cooking and eating, playing games, laughing and just hanging out together made for a great week. Mike and Jeff (and sometimes I) entertained and annoyed audiences with “canjo” music(?) — that’s music on a banjo made from a stick, a tin can, and a guitar string, which Mike and Jeff discovered at a local antique store. The grandsons built elaborate scenes and structures with dominoes and Jenga blocks. We team-cooked pizzas and Sebastian discovered Moon Pies. Owen ruled the kiddie swimming pool. Caleb lost his second tooth — deja vu all over again. We saw deer, wild turkey, and more butterflies than we’ve seen in decades. Anna-Marie and Mike caught fish (Anna-Marie’s first). Pa stunk up Lake Logan trying to clear a dead fish from the shore near our picnic table — which only stirred up more eau d’ dead fish. Sorry. Anyway, here are some snapshots from the week.
