Braves

Connor is playing on the Dulles Little League AAA Braves this spring baseball season.   AAA is a bit higher skill league than some forth graders so he's left a few friends behind.   And alot of the other AAA drafted kids his age play on travel baseball leagues, which he does not.  So, its kind of weird.  But he's doing well and we had a baseball milestone event just about an hour ago....when I watched him ride off to practice on his bike.  I remember when he was little and I'd see kids riding to baseball with their bat bags on their back.  Or wearing their football pads.   I thought they were so old.   And now he's one of them.  He was just riding to a friends to get a ride from his mom to the ballfield...but its the same net effect. My baby is growing up. 

Snow Baby!

Palmer made it to his third winter with no snow photos! Finally, in mid-March it happened. He loved it. So did I.

Go East-er!

A few shots of the fun today.  And I have to note that one must appreciate how we get so nicely dressed up for the holiday around here.  :)

Some shots we took (some by me and some by Connor) during our trip of some interesting things.  Some with the Hipstamatic and some with the regular iPhone camera.

Sour dough, anyone?

The sun does shine on him.

Musee Mechanique

There is the coolest place in Fisherman's Wharf called the Musee Mechanique.  It contains antique arcade games that are bizarre and fun and crazy.  This is just a taste of them.  Its a must see and I didn't know a thing about it until we stumbled up on it.  The best kind of surprise. 

You put in your coin.  The door lifts.  A small crowd.  A small guillotine.  A person in the guillotine.  And then...SWOOSH..the head comes off.  That's it. Crazy.

Vibrating Chair

Put in your coin and watch through the porthole as the Titanic drops to the depths.

Real lead balls shoot out here.
