Harris
Happenings
Here are some of the
things that are going on around the Harris house these days....
June 1998
Boys
Baseball Night / Girlie Night
On Wednesday June 3rd, David and Mike went
to the Bowie Baysox
baseball game. They arrived early enough to see batting practice,
and Mike got his first autographed baseball from Eugene Kingsale!
They met up with some of David's work buddies, and had a great time until
the rain delay came at about 9:00. Almost every time any of us go
to a baseball game, there is rain!
On that same night, Jenny and Kim had Girlie
Night. They went to the mall first, to ride the carousel. They
had the whole thing to themselves! Next they went to look at the
animals in the pet store, had Chinese food for dinner, and stopped in the
bookstore for some light reading. Afterward, they went home for some
fingernail/toenail painting, and some fun with the dollhouse. They
stayed up late, until Mike and David came home, and then it was time for
bed.
Columbia
Youth Baseball Association - Tee Ball
Each
Saturday, Mike plays on the CYBA Royals Tee Ball team. So far, he's
had three games, a practice, and two rain-outs! He's one of the oldest
players on the team, and so he's helping teach the kindergarten kids to
play. He's had some really strong at-bats, and has done really well
at his fielding too. Next spring he'll be in coach-pitch, and will
have mid-week practices. Hopefully we'll soon have some on-line pictures
of him playing baseball.
Howard
County Soccer Association
Also
on Saturday, Mike plays soccer. He's in the youngest age bracket,
which means he's in the clinic instead of in a game-playing league.
He is learning all the skills needed for playing soccer. He's chosen
not to participate in soccer next fall. He wants to practice baseball
instead.
CDC
Summer Camp
On Monday June 8th, Kim will begin the summer
"camp" session at CDC. She'll have Gymnastics on Mondays, Bike Day
on Tuesdays, Water Day on Wednesdays, Special Events on Thursdays, and
Water Day and Sno Cones on Fridays. Sprinkled throughout the summer
are field trips, where she'll go fun places like a farm and Discovery Zone.
Other days the Fun Bus will come to the school, and a magician and a reptile
show are both scheduled! Mike will attend CDC summer camp for school
agers as soon as school is out on June 10th. He'll be taking a few
more field trips, and will also have Bike Days.
Strawberry
Picking
We're planning a trip very soon to Larriland
Farms, where we'll pick strawberries. Later in the summer we'll be
back for peaches and blueberries, and in the fall for apples, hayrides
and maybe even our Christmas Tree!
Longwood
Gardens
We're also planning a day trip to Longwood
Gardens outside Philidelphia. It's the premier botanical attraction
in the Philly area, and should be chock full of roses and early perennials.
This is a combined Mother's Day and Birthday trip for Jenny.
Trip
to Tulsa
Of course, we're looking forward to our vacation
in Tulsa later this summer. We'll be putting a field trip report
here after we get back, so stay tuned.
