Well, boys, we finally decided to try out camping as a family on Spring Break this year. Our friends, the Rigdons, invited us up to Otto, NC and the've ever seen place that they camp each year. They have a friend who owns 60 acres of land up there in the mountains, and it is absolutely gorgeous. They have a wonderful little place to camp. It has a cabin, a creek, a bridge, and just tons of stuff to do. We decided to go up on Friday and spend the night...originally we were going to sleep in tents, but Mommy thought that it would be too cold. The plan then changed to get a hotel room, but Daddy got sick and we came home Friday night instead. Anyway, we went up early on Friday morning. Cody and Riley immediately put on their swimming gear and hopped in the creek with Wesley Rigdon and the other kids. Jay thought it was too cold....I agreed with Jay...that water was FREEZING! Cody and Riley tubed down the creek, Jay spent some time fishing from the bridge, and we played badminton as well. Mommy found the biggest marshmallows that you've ever seen, and we made smores over the campfire after the sun went down. I think that we are going to try to go back on maybe Memorial Day and this time spend the night and get the full camping experience. I know that you boys will enjoy it!!
Tonight Cody was awarded the game ball in only his 2nd baseball game ever. They played a double header, and Cody played outstanding. He played catcher the first game, and he looked like he had played there his whole life. He was blocking balls, and throwing them back to the pitcher. If there was a runner coming in from third, he was blocking the plate and making it harder for them to score. The 2nd game, he played left field, and he made a great throw to 2nd base that got a runner out!! He also hit the ball solid one good time on a line drive to the shortstop, but he caught it. Still a rip, though!! Great Job, Cody!!
