Yesterday was a nice day of play, from one end to the other. We started off at an archaeological fair at the site of a huge American Indian civilization that was right here around 1000 years ago. Way fun. Zach learned to make arrowheads, throw spears, classify bones, and play Native American games of all kinds. A boy's dream, essentially.
We headed home, where he spent the whole afternoon with some cousins and friends... slipping and sliding and turning the yard into a swamp.
And then we ended the day at a picnic with members of our church, where we ate good food and enjoyed an all-ages softball game. My guys did great! (Although as catcher, my boy might have had more success had he turned his mitt around. And maybe not worn flip-flops.) And I was more than happy to be the photographer/cheerleader/water-girl for them.
Aaahh... a weekend just as it should be.
Sounds fun! And right up Zach's alley.

(and who cares about his glove - his face is SO into the game!)

Was that Indian thing at Cahokia Mounds? They have made that into such a great site to visit.

And I'm guessing he loved the spear throwing too!
