Benjamin's Fishing Field Trip

Benjamin went to a U-Fish pond and caught his very own rainbow trout. I unfortunately couldn't accompany him on the field trip, but I did get a report from his teacher about Benjamin's fascination with the fish gutting process. She told me she thought Benjamin was going to be a doctor. On Saturday night Stephen pan fried the trout. We knew it would have lots of bones, but we weren't prepared for how many teeny tiny ones there would be. Benjamin ate the most fish as I dug through every bit for the bones. Then Stephen ended up getting a small bone lodged in his throat that took two days to go down. It is a whopper of a fish tale!

Crowns

Benjamin decided that he and Emma needed crowns to wear for the day. Here are the crowns that he made all by himself.

T-Ball

I signed Benjamin up for T-ball thinking it would be a good transition for when preschool ended. I didn't know how much time would actually be involved and boy are we ever overcommitted to a five and six year old team. I don't know how parents would do it with more than one child enrolled. Benjamin loves to practice and even heads out to the backyard to practice by himself. Papa taught Benjamin about the game before practices started and then he has learned even more. Here are some pictures of the T-ball Kickoff Celebration. I'll post more after the first game.
