Baseball Camp, etc

7/8/13~ Ronan and Griffin went to the Jordan Kent baseball camp that was held at PK Park. This was Griffin's first ever camp experience!  I thought it was so sweet when we got there and Ronan said to Griffin, "Let's stick together". :)

The field where the Oregon Ducks and the Eugene Emerald baseball teams play.

One of the camp days was held at the Moshofsky Center!

While the big boys were at camp, Tate and I went on a hike at Skinner's Butte with the Moms of Grace group.  Tate got to play with Nathan and Owen Gunderson.

Another afternoon that week we got invited to swim at the Eugene Swim & Tennis Club with one of Ronan's friends from camp.  It was a nice treat!

Old Friends

The Switzer family was visiting from Iowa, so a few of us got together for a picnic at a park.  It was so great to see Matt and Jessie, and to get to know their sweet kiddos better!  We miss having them around!

Tate loved the big sandbox (aka the sand volleyball court)

Cameron connected with our boys right away!

4th of July

It has become a tradition for us to host a BBQ on the 4th of July for our friends and family who don't already have plans. This year we had over 40 people there!  It was nice to get to use the outdoor space--I don't think it felt too crowded. (:  Everyone contributed to the meal and the firework show!  It was really fun time!

Getting the firework show started.

Tate was SUPER excited!  I think this was the first year he stayed awake long enough to see the fireworks!
