My birthday celebration

 Out to eat!

First Pitch!

Vollen was asked to throw the first pitch tonight at the Freshman Reserve State baseball tournament at Bellevue East! He had fun hanging with the big guys and feeling like he was one of them for a bit! The guys had fun with Vollen.

My setting was way off, but I didn't realize until it was too late. Darn. CJ the catcher!

 Walking out onto the field with two of his buddies once all the players were announced.

 Then he was like, let's go guys!

 Getting ready!

 Step and throw!

 Then he decided he needed to run to first base.

 Um....Vollen come back!

 The guys had to run and get him.

 Someone is having fun!

 Good job Vollen!

Road Trip!

 Sandwiches that we made before we left. Hummus, roasted squash and zucchini and spinach

 2 1/2 hours in the car

 We made it!

 Inside to get our tickets for the train ride.

 Getting ready to board.

 They let us bring our picnic lunch on the train with us so we wouldn't have to rush to eat it before we left.

 Getting ready to go!

 Our car had a double decker. You could sit up above or below.

 This would be beautiful in the fall!

 We had a great ride!

 We went to Des Moines for dinner.
