Spring Break 2022

Spring break started with a very cold baseball tournament at Baseball USA. It isn't supposed to be cold like this, is it???? Luckily, Sunday was not as bad as Saturday in regards to cold temps.

The boys played great and went on to become the champions of the Dick's Sporting Goods Spring Slam 10U AAA tournament. And, with boys being boys, there were tons of jokes and giggles when they received their rings.

We headed to Kerrville on Monday to spend some time there with my parents.

Up to this week, my boys have never really be interested in driving the golf cart, which is crazy to me because I know as a kid, I would have been begging to drive. Seeing the trend of kids these days not caring about driving or getting their driver's license when they turn 16, I could easily see Camden (with his personality) falling in that group. So, about a month ago I told him that he was going to learn to drive the golf cart when we went to Kerrville. Since he is not one to step out of his comfort zone, he has fretted over it the past few weeks. We hadn't been at mom and dad's too long before I told him it was time to drive the golf cart. It took him all of a minute driving it before he realized how awesome it was and was ready to go take rides and drive it as often as he could. We talk often about all the things he could be missing out on due to the fear of the unknown. I pray he becomes more and more willing to step out of his comfort zone and try new things.

Since Camden learned how to drive the cart, Casen was right behind him ready to go. He, of course, was not the least bit nervous and is not as cautious . . . 

On Thursday, which was St. Patrick's Day, everyone, except for my dad who is recovering from a hip replacement, headed to San Antonio so the boys could experience the River Walk as well as the Alamo. Even though he had never been there, Casen served as our own personal tour guide since  had learned all about the Alamo this year in school (thanks Mrs. Reese!). 

We then headed over to the River Walk and took a ride on the river boat so the boys could hear some fun facts about the city. And as it tradition for St. Patrick's Day, they dye the water green. 

Shane and the boys spent a lot of time at the pickle ball courts playing pickle ball. There might be a little competition out there and sometimes one or the other comes back a bit frustrated -LOL. But if it were up to Camden, he would have a pickle ball court in his back yard.

We had a good week and are ready to tackle the next few months of school and sports.
