a couple of field trips

A few weeks ago....Or a month...Or maybe a little longer than that Lance got to take Javan on a field trip with one of our homeschool groups to visit the KS speedway.

Here are some pictures:

This is a model of all the other KS stadiums inside the speedway track

Last Friday we went on a tour of the capital building and toured Brown vs Board of education museum.

The video didn't work on my last post.

Let's hope it works this time.

first baseball game

Last weekend was warm and gorgeous. The kids wore their swimsuits and played with the water guns...

But Tuesday....the night of Javan's first game....was CHILLY!

Javan did pretty good for his first game. He did a great job retrieving the ball from the outfield, throwing the ball to the first baseman and getting the player out!

Here is a video of Javan batting for the first time and violets sweet voice pointing out Javan

Monday was the memory master award ceremony. Mom requested that I record him saying all of his facts so I might do that one of these days. In the meantime, here are some pictures.
