Called Up to AA....Someday Maybe

 Our friend Tim Morgan (Mr. Tim) coaches his sons team in AA Little League (its wheel pitch) and he has had some problems fielding a team toward the end of the year.  I told him that Carson would play and at least he would have someone in the field and not have to take an out for a person not batting.  So we showed up and.....In the dugout with the other "Brewers", getting a little instruction from Mr. "Coach" Tim (he asked me why he had to call him coach Tim and not Mr. Tim), he had 1 hit and 2 rbi's,  much to everyones surprise he did not strikeout in 3 at bats, the other 2 were ground outs to first.  He got hit with a ball from the wheel machine and because he was swinging it was still a strike, so after running to first he had to go back and get in the box, but then he got his hit!!!  Passed ball, so the coaches had him steal second, he ended up on third and almost scored....Here he is with Liam (Tim and Julie's son), Liam is making a goofy face.....thank you Tim for giving him a chance!!!!!

To the Zoo

Took a trip to finally see the new Africa Exhibit at the zoo.  Ms. Julie and Fiona came with us and we had a very fun day.  Fiona and Carson were cut from the same cloth as you can see by several of these photos :).  I think the chimp photo makes me laugh the most - not only because Carson is making a dorky face, but because minutes later this chimp charged the glass and scared the crap out of Carson! If only we had video so we could share the moment.  That's right, I find humor in my son's terror...send me my mother of the year award right now please :).  We absolutely love the zoo!!!

NERF WAR

The "boys" had a Nerf War this afternoon.  Carson was in heaven, and the big boys had a pretty good time too! Mr. Matt from the rotunda spot, Uncle Tony by the front door on a sneak attack, Carson finds Uncle Tony in the pantry and lets him have it with the Machine Gun, Carson and Uncle Tony showing their killer face (notice the sweat, its a tough battle).
