Baseball in the Fall?

Yep! down here in the south, you can do that. Ryan was so excited to be on a team and this Sat was his first game. He is on the Yankees and is number 3, which I found out was Babe Ruth's number when he was on the team.

1st base man

Getting ready to run home!



















Of course there was ice cream for all after the game!

St Augustine

Last week I Took Ryan to his first homeschool field trip here in Florida. We went down to St. Augustine for their 444th birthday. The Foutain of Youth park was holding a re-enactment to demonstrate the Timucans history. This was Ryan's first trip there.

We learned about Ponce De Leon and tasted water from the Fountain of Youth - humm, I feel younger all ready : )



The Timucuan village was nice and here they had a living history display and we learned alot

from this guy - he told us how the Timucauns were larger than most people,probablly due to the spring water here and the food they ate. He told of other interesting things too but Adeline was getting fussy so I had to take her out for awile.


Ryan stayed and listened. He was intrigued.


I like the big plastic shark




Peacocks were running wild there. Such beautiful feathers.




There was also a pirate flag down near the river which lead to a discussion about pirates and looking through our pirate book at home. Then lead to buying pirate fabric at the fabric store
to make a pirate costume. I love when things naturally progress this way.
