Yogi Bear Campgrounds - Mike's Birthday

Mike and his family were all camping at Yogi Bear for Memorial Day weekend and invited us to join them on Sunday to celebrate Mike's birthday. It was our first trip, of hopefully many to come. They had a HUGE 5 story water slide that Andrew attempted to gather enough nerve to do twice, and chickened out both times. I secretly didn't mind. But, I did enjoy the slide myself! All the cousins enjoyed the kiddie pool and closed it down at 8. Michayla and Allissa were early to bed and Jonathen and Andrew enjoyed the campside viewing of Gnomeo and Juliet. We grubbed on ribs, beans, and potato salad before singing Happy Birthday and calling it a night!

T-ball

Andrew started his second year of t-ball with added enthusiasm. I think it was the red cleats his father agreed to buy him! He seemed to enjoy the year but wished that he could only bat and not have to go out into the field. I will always remember the first 6-7 running steps that Andrew would take in place before heading off to the next base. It was pretty cute and reminded me of Fred Flintstone for some reason. And, of course the arrival at each base required a full fledge slide! The more red dirt he could drag into the car at the end of the game, the better!

Here are a couple of pics from this year:

Matthew's Personality Shines

While Andrew was away at golf camp, Matthew joined me for a few errands. One, being Toys R Us. As we passed by this Lightning McQueen set up, Matthew almost jumped out of the shopping cart in excitement! This boy LOVES broom brooms (cars!) I just hope Santa doesn't ever show up at my house with this bed!
