Daddy's Weekly Dollop

Daddy's Weekly Dollop:  A weekly recap of daddy awesomeness.

While Martha is busy working on her National Boards renewal, wow, can you believe that it has already been 10 years, I (Robbie) will be taking over blog duties.  First order of business, rename the weekly updates.  Presenting . . . . drum roll . . . . . Daddy's Weekly Dollop:  A weekly recap of daddy awesomeness.

1) Campbell's First T-Ball Game - This spring, the girls are participating in ROAR Sports  Campbell's playing t-ball and Maggie's participating in a Junior Soccer Camp.  I'm the coach of Campbell's t-ball team, the Red Sox.  Each game/practice feels a lot like this:  click here.  Anyway, Campbell had her first game and here are some pictures:

She's such a happy little t-baller

Her favorite is batting

and my favorite: 

This about sums it up . . . my team (all 10 players) and a member of the other team all chasing a hit ball.

Last year we tried soccer and it was too much running for her.  However, she's thoroughly enjoying t-ball.

2) Carowinds - We got season passes to Carowinds and we've gone a few times since opening weekend.  Last weekend I took the girls for the day so Martha could type.  The girls rode their first roller coaster together:

 

Campbell loves characters . . . here she is with Snoopy in Planet Snoopy

 

3) Checkers Hockey - I took Campbell and Maggie, and Elisa, a friend of the girls, to their first hockey game.  I was proud of the fact that they made it through 2 periods before they hit the "I'm board out of my mind" wall.  The highlight of the day for the girls was meeting the mascot, Chubby, and riding the "train" (light rail) to the game.

The Elisa and Campbell on the light rail . . . they look so grown up. 

4)  Siblings - April 10th is National Siblings Day and we are so lucky to have two girls who truly love for and care each other. 

5) Come See Me - Rock Hill has a weekly festival that takes place once a year.  The Come See Me festival just concluded on Saturday with a fireworks show over the lake at Winthrop University.  Here are some of the pictures from Come See Me:

A lot of Campbell and Maggie's friends went to the fireworks show.  Here Campbell is with her little "boyfriend" Jainam . . . the two are inseparable.
