Finally some sun!

We spent last weekend at Deutsche Tage, the local German festival. Although the weather was gloomy we enjoyed our time there and Joe's brother Andy joined us as well. We ate great German food, listened to German music, had German beer and A.J. was able to spend the afternoon watching the model train they have set up. It was a wonderful day.

We have had quite a bit of rain for the last week so we were overjoyed when the sun came out yesterday! The boys and I spent the afternoon outside getting A.J. ready for T-ball. He had his first practice last night and had a wonderful time. We found out we have quite a slugger on our hands, he can really hit the ball! As soon as we got home last night, he had to go out and practice more. I really think he has found a sport he enjoys.

This morning my sister called and invited us to join them at Teddy Bear Park in Stillwater and considering how warm and sunny it was outside, we couldn't say no! We met them in the late morning and let the kids play for quite a while, all three of them really enjoyed it! We then decided it was time for some lunch and thought it would be a great idea to head down by the river and sit on a patio somewhere. We settled on The Freight House. The food was good and we had a wonderful view of the river and the weather was perfect for eating outside! We ventured down to the river once we were done eating and even put our toes in the water, although it was quite chilly. It was a wonderful afternoon!
