After begging Kevin to take him fishing this morning, Kev finally relented. As it ended up Owen caught a huge bass while fishing from the shore. He cast out the line, hooked the fish, reeled him in, (Kev took him off the hook), then he let him go. Yes, he's still in his pajamas!

Kev downs an LBL at home on the deck after a frustrating night of softball where the umpire cost us the second game of the night. This is a good way to cool off, both literally and figuratively.

Tonight we had dinner at the OX Bar & Grill on its second day open. A guy in the restaurant, celebrating his birthday, gave a wad of one dollar bills to Liam so that he could play Golden Tee while we waited for our food (the kitchen was backed up). We took the boys to Meijer afterwards to spend their remaining $2 on new Hot Wheels. Can you ever have enough Hot Wheels?

This is what we come home with when we go to BW3's on Wednesdays, which is "kids' night". This happens to be an octopus. But we've had balloon balls, swords, football helmets, and various other animals. The boys love it!

When I got home from work today, Owen dragged me to the basement to show me this train set that he had put together, ALL BY HIMSELF!! He was so proud of it.
