A trip to the mountains

Professional Baseball Player

I was on a hike recently with my mom and my boys. Everyone was moving much faster than Fynn so I stayed back with him as he took his time on the trail. He was walking along quietly in front of me with a walking stick he had found. "I want to be a real professional baseball player when I grow up" he said as he swung his stick. I smiled and thought for a moment, then asked "what do you think it takes to be a professional baseball player Fynn?" He immediately answered "well Rowin said you have to hit wots and wots of home runs." I smiled as the image of Rollin advising Fynn on the topic ran through my head. Then asked "what do you think it takes to be able to hit lots and lots of home runs?" He took more time then said "I don't know". I said "well one thing I know is that it takes lots of practice." Without missing a beat He asked "should I practice now?"

Rollin Hood

Our little Archer has lost his first tooth. But it didn't just fall out. He followed in his big brothers foot steps and shot it out of his mouth with a string and a bow and arrow. He took one practice shot. Then we attached the string and he made a nice clean shot and out cam the tooth. Unfortunately we lost it in the tall grass, but the tooth fairy did not seem to mind a bit!

Pip Sqeak

We drove out to Pickwick Lake yesterday for the very first time. We had a lovely day filled with corn dogs and mustard, swimming in the lake, exploring and fishing. When it was time to head home we made one last stop at a restroom. As Thadeus walked inside the building I put the van into drive and started to turn around so we were heading the right direction but as I was doing this Rollin asked "are we leaving daddy here?" "No of course not" I said. "You mean we're not gonna leave him at pip squeak lake?"
