It was a big day for both of these guys.  

Emma's team was the "dream team" at the Honkers game… they got cool hats, got to hang out in the dugout with the team before the game, get announced on the field, and join the players for the national anthem.  She loved it.  

And see Zach's sunburned face?  Yeah, that didn't happen on my watch.  (If you know me at all, that will make you laugh – I am a bit of a sunscreen fanatic.  My sister reminds me every once in a while that a little sun is good for you…)  Zach got to spend the day at cub scout day camp.  When I dropped him off at 7:15 this morning I realized that when I picked him up at 5:30 that afternoon I would have sent him away for the longest stretch ever!  My morning coat of sunscreen didn't last that long… and he lost the bottle they told us to send for re-application for their second round of swimming… but the sunburn wasn't bad, and as I looked at his little red face and heard the excited run-down of the days events (bow and arrow, bee-bee gun, tomohawk throwing, trading post) I knew that life is going to be like that.  A little letting go on my part, a little "sunburn" here and there for him, and a whole lot of life adventures that he will love and I will love to let him have.  

And Carter?  Well, the big day just wore him out.  :)  Don't worry, he woke up to do the "YMCA" with Slider (the mascot) – which I think is his favorite part of baseball.
