Worlds of Fun

This weekend we met Grandpa Denny & Grandma Lou in Kansas City and went to Worlds of Fun! Boy...did we have worlds of fun! Get it?!? :) 
When we first got there we saw Snoopy and he let me take my picture with him. 
 Here's a picture of Grandma Lou trying to figure out how to work the photo booth.
 I race Grandpa Denny & Grandma Lou at one of the water games. We played a couple times and Grandma and I each one!
 Here's Grandma and I with our prizes.
 Then, Dad decided he was going to go on a crazy roller coaster that made you go backwards! Everyone else was too scared to Dad had to go by himself.
 Here's my dad in the front row! What a crazy guy!
 One of our favorite rides was the Fury of the Nile. We all go to sit in a big raft and go along through a river. Grandpa Denny got SOAKED! It was hilarious!
 Dad tried to show off his basketball skills. He actually made a couple baskets!
 I went on the biggest roller coaster in the park with my mom and dad. Here I am in line for the Mamba. It was a little scary, but so much fun!
 I even got to make a penny with the Mamba picture on it so I'll always remember this roller coaster.
 Grandpa helped me drive a car around the track.
 Then, he took me in the bumper cars!
 We were all hot and a little tired so we took a break on the carousel.
 After eating Dad and I raced Grandpa Denny in the go karts.
 We had such a long and very fun day. I needed to go back to the hotel and relax with all my new friends I won at Worlds of Fun.
 The hotel we stayed at even had a water park. So we went to that the next day.
 Here's dad and I coming out of the waterslide. It was so much fun. I don't know why mom was so scared!
 Dad said we couldn't leave Kansas City without stopping for some BBQ. I sure do like ribs! Anyone have a napkin :)
I had a great weekend with Grandma & Grandpa - hopefully do it again sometime!

Baseball Season - Go Tigers!

This year was my first year with Coach Pitch baseball. My team name was the Tigers. My mom told me my Uncle Brian's favorite team is the Detroit Tigers so I was very excited to play on a team named the Tigers. It's much better than playing on the Cardinals! 
 It was hard to hit the ball, but I kept practicing and even hit a home run this year! The ball only went to the pitcher's mound, but the other team couldn't throw it to the base so I kept running and made it home!
 Here I am in the dugout cheering my teammates on!
 I'm getting ready to catch the ball in the outfield.
 On the last game of the season the coach let me play catcher. I really liked playing catcher and even caught a few of the balls!
 Here's a teammate and I talking about the game.
 After the season was over my team got a trophy. It's my 2nd baseball trophy and I can't wait to put it in my room.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today was my birthday! I'm 7 years old! My mom and dad took me out for a birthday dinner and then out for a surprise. After dinner we stopped to go golfing at the driving range with the new clubs I got for my birthday! First, I had to get some golf balls to practice with. 

 Dad and I all set to go hit some balls! I can't wait...I've never done this before!


I can't wait to go to the driving range with my dad again!

Carol & Jake's Garden

My mom and I planted our garden today! First I had to get our our supplies.
Then, my dad helped us hang up some gutters to plant our herbs in.
My mom and I planted some yummy vegetables.
After I planted the seeds I had to make sure to give them enough water to drink. They're really thirsty.
I couldn't forget about the herbs!
Here's Carol & Jake's Garden...
