Baseball camp and a Weekend Surprise


Hagerstown Sun's Stadium
 
The highlight from last week was the Hagerstown Sun's Baseball Camp.  Nick wasn't home from vacation 48 hours before Samantha scooped him right up and took him to her house for 3 days of camp.  From what I've gathered, the 3 days were fantastic on all accounts!  Nick played ball, met new friends, learned some magic card tricks, went hiking to Grandma I's, and went swimming. 
 
Thank you to Samantha for her patience, to her new car for traveling to Hagerstown, to Samuel for wanting to spend even MORE time with Nick after vacation, and to the Hubs, Sam, for helping Samantha be a stay-at-home mama.  Without all that, Nick wouldn't have gotten to experience a great week with awesome coaching and fun!

 
While Nick was playing ball, Lauren got some one-on-one time with Grandma, played with cousins, went to piano lessons, and relaxed with good ol' mom and dad in the evenings. 
 
Due to rainfall south of us, the river was up about 10 feet; making it a muddy-chocolatey-milky mess.  What was originally supposed to be a weekend full of float trips, ended up being partially full of yard work.  The other part was a welcome surprise!  The Arbaugh's made an unexpected drop-in at their riverhouse.  Nick spotted their van while riding his bike just after lunch.  Within 3 minutes our kids were playing pet sitter, swings, catching lightening bugs, and eating popsicles.  The adults joined in on the fun that evening with a cookout and bonfire.
