More pictures that did not make their own post...
My youngest finally had his first baseball game after two weeks of rain outs. He had a good time, getting on base with a hit and scoring the first run for his team. His age-level is the first kid-pitch level, so a bunch of players made it on base from walks. The game ended in a 3-3 tie, which may have been appropriate since it was Nationals versus Cardinals and all the players had the same color jerseys. Everyone had fun on a sunny Sunday.

They get to steal too, so here he is on second |

My son finished off a "building bricks" set that is not Legos. He made George Washington's Mount Vernon,
a place we visited some time ago.

Not the happiest builder in the country |
With scouts, we did some outdoor cooking, including foil packet dinners on the grill. The boys loved it!

Yummy self-made dinner! |
My eldest had another debate at which I was a judge. I wound up being a proctor for the Extemperaneous Speaking competition, which meant I handed out the topics to the participants thirty minutes before they talked about it. The time was for them to research the topic and prepare seven minutes of remarks.

Teamwork! |

My youngest had his final game at the end of the month, which they won 12-13 against the Orioles. Fall ball has a very short season and no playoffs!

He's also had fun playing board games, including the popular
Pandemic.

Victory! |
Our dance studio,
That's Dancing, had a Halloween party. We dressed up in cowboy outfits. One couple came as Barbie and Ken, so I took a turn in the Ken box as "Cowboy Ken Doll." Our niece came to the dance too!

The cub scouts had a pack meeting where kids dressed up. My youngest reused his baseball uniform as a Halloween costume.

As for actual Halloween, we never took a picture of our youngest in his outfit (the
Link outfit from a birthday party earlier in the year), but we did get a shot of his candy collection in a bar chart.

Do they learn this in school? |
