Well, apparently DD has convinced DF about the greatness of baseball enough for him to want to give it a try. I woke up this morning at 8:30am to see them playing in the yard, with DF determined to rope daddy into practicing with them after work.After breakfast, we picked up our dog from our friend's house and headed to the South Mountain Reservation, only a few minutes away from us. We took a short walk in the woods and enjoyed the morning sunlight filtering thru the trees. The kids raced each other in the dog park's obstacle course (no pups were present except our own).
After lunch we headed for DD's first group archery class with the New Jersey school of Archery. She is very excited to start and wanted very much to share it with DF. He had an introductory lesson while she practiced and got to be a guest in the group class.
After two hours of archery, we had lunch and headed to the mall to buy new earrings for DD. And that's how a girl knows she's got a good friend: he's willing to help her pick earrings!
You'd think that would be enough action for some but our young heroes decided to head to the pool and cool off with a splash in the diving tank.
Now it is dinner time (sure enough after practicing baseball with daddy) and the closing of another fun day; which I'm sure will end up with a bit of quiet reading and a good night's sleep. Until tomorrow comes!
I think one of the best parts of the day for me was hearing DD repeat a few words from Lincoln's Gettysburg address as she stepped up to a statue's pedestal to take a photo at the dogie park. I guess you never know how much they really retain after all...
Look for today's photos in the DF album to the right.
