Camping Summer 2008

Family Night at Lambeau

Here are the kids looking out the window of Kevin's cousin's hotel room across from Lambeau field.
Here we are in front of the stadium. Notice that we are missing one. Zachary went back to Kelli's house because it was storming. He missed everything. But he did have more fun with Grandma and Grandpa playing games and watching the scrimmage on TV.
Mom and her boys!
Eli and Aidan doing the wave. They loved it!!
At the end of the scrimmage they shot off fireworks from the top of the stadium. It was awesome! Notice how Aidan has his ticket in his right hand. He didn't let go of that ticket through the whole scrimmage and fireworks. He wouldn't even let Kevin's niece Shari look at it after the game. He slept with it. All the way home he held on to it. All 10 hours in the car he held on to it. Kevin held it for him while he went to the bathroom but otherwise he had it. He finally fell asleep and must have dropped it- when I found it- it was not in the best of shape! At one point on our way home I looked back at him and he had his headphones on and in one hand was the ticket and in the other was a pancake from McDonalds. He was asleep with his mouth wide open. It would have been a great picture but my camera was in the trunk!! The kids had a blast! Even though, Aidan was upset that Brett Favre was not there. He kept asking me where he was. I had to explain to him that Brett Favre might not play for Green Bay again. He told me he has to play for them because he only has a Green Bay jersey and helmet. If he doesn't play for Green Bay he will be surely missed by his number one fan- that is for sure!!!

9-10 Year Old All-Stars

First of all, I really don't have a lot of pictures of Jacob playing because I went to all of Zachary's games and most of the time they were on the same day. This was the Championship game that they lost. They did well! They ended up Runners Up in the District!
Playing one of his favorite positions-- first base. His "very favorite" is pitching.
Here they are watching Roosevelt Park get their Championship award. The look of disappointment!
They played a hard fought game! They should be very proud! They did AWESOME!! Congratulations White Lake!!

8-9 Yr. Old All-Stars

Zachary had a great time playing baseball. They did very well. They ended up Runners Up for the County tournament.
Now that's a face of determination!!!
This was after they beat Oakridge 10-0. Coach Todd told him that he made the play of the game. He threw a runner out at home from left field. I didn't realize it was him that threw it! It kept them from scoring!
This was the championship game and they were losing. His face says it all!
Good Job White Lake!!!

Fourth of July Trip

Baseball...baseball...and more baseball!!!

Well, it's been a long baseball season but it's been so much fun! Actually, baseball is not over yet! Both Jacob and Zachary have made it on the All-Star teams so we have a few more weeks of it. Jacob's team did awesome. No one would have guessed that they would be playing for the championship at the end of the season! They played a great game! They ended up losing by one run into extra innings! It was sad but they played strong! Second place is not too bad!!

Zachary's team ended up in 3rd place which was great being that they are such a young team!! They were excited and also ready for the game to end! They had scored 27 runs! The last inning was unlimited so it was a long game (especially since it was raining and cold!) Elijah and Aidan had a great year at T-ball! It's hard to believe Eli will be playing with the minors next year!! Aidan will tell you he loves the National Anthem before the game. He can't wait to stand there with his hat on his heart and sing. That and batting are his favorite things about T-ball!! My boys are growing up to be quite the athletes!! I should have known, they are a Buchberger after all!!!
