More camping and tball

First time at Two Rivers by Omaha.  Braxton loved Brian's lounger chair!  We loved it so much...we got daddy one for Father's Day!
You can take canoes out, but that's all...
Braxton got to spend the day and overnight at Gma Korths while cousin Emma was there for the week.  We are so lucky that Braxton is able to know his great grandparents!!!
We got 300+day born pheasants!!!!
Braxton was very timid at first...but didn't take long....
And he was holding them...and even helped dip their beaks!!!!
The boys out riding!!!!   How awesome is this!!!!
Thanks Aunt Jen for the baseball pants!   He wanted to "save" them for when he was a real baseball player he said....hmmmm...
I absolutely love this photo!!! From left to right....
Hallie Reich, Callista Reichmuth, Karley Korth, Tyler Reichmuth, ? , Briley Dohmen, Isabella Gaspers, Chance Lindhorst, Cooper Herchenbach(wonder what they were discussing?!) Braxton, Max Stenger, Logan Wiese, Katie Preister 
Pitcher Aaron Reichmuth did amazing with these kids!!!
Run little buddy!!
His cheering crowd was phenomenal!!!!!!   Aunt Kelly and her friend Jaimee drove from Omaha!!, Grandpa and Grandma B (we ate at Klub after and met friends, Steve, Ash, and kids after their game!), Gpa and Gma P, Taylor Bender, and Great Gma Korth!!!!!  What a lucky little boy!!!!
See them by the tree....
Love this family photo!

Onto June catch up...and first tball game!!

A glimpse of the garden.  Most things went in May 5 and May 8.  Due to winds and heavy storms, my tomatoe plants I started from seed we're all ruined.  So I just bought them.  
Heading to a wedding...Austin and Car Wegeners ceremony, then onto Keith Reichmuths reception. 
We made it to one of Charlis games!  Uncle Chad and Brax playing in the hot hot sun!
Walking home from work was tiring for Braxton...
Our first tball game in Madison!!!   After preschool graduation, we all remember how horrid that went...we were Super nervous for ball!!!   Thankfully Uncle Chad and Harper showed up early to the game, and I think it helped Braxton relax a little....and the game went...
Amazing!!!!   Warming up!!
We were soooo excited when he came smiling out of the dugout!!!!  And hit the ball!!!
Running home!
Another great hit!
Grandpa John left too soon...but this was his cheering crowd!!!!

Waaaaay behind as usual!!!

Playing catch up...backing up to Memorial Day weekend!!! We went up Wednesday night!   Brad returned to work Thursday morning, while Braxton and I stayed there!!!  We missed him like crazy...but Braxton learned a few things hanging out with mom!  We camped at Chief White Crane. So it was a 3 mile bike ride to the fish hatchery and dairy dock!  I was glad we kept the bike cart!  He's a little big, but yet too small to ride his own bike that far!!!

We got to feed the fish, too!
We even packed a lunch and had a picnic!
And of course the dairy dock!
Just relaxing on Gene Werners boat Thursday evening....
Braxton was AMAZED I knew how to start a fire!!!!!!!
We enjoyed Friday at the beach 
Friday night daddy came back!!!  With good news!!   Our boat was fixed!!!!  Captain Braxton!
He came with good news about the boat...and brought Uncle Lyle!
Not sure what they were making...hats!??
Family fun fishing from the beach.  Daddy's favorite camp spot!  Very relaxing!!
Found out our neighbors were clients of mine!  Braxton enjoyed Eden Sauser being there!!!
We boated a lot over the long weekend!  If you fpdrive up the river 8 miles or so, there is Weigand Marina....and ice cream!!!  That may be a tradition to stop there!!!
I caught a fish!!!!
Our very loooong setup;)
