Austin puts the ball on our makeshift tee for Jon.
Jon didn’t mention it in his post about the cottage a month ago, but at sunset we had an amazing game of T-ball. Austin chose Jon for his team, versus his dad and me. Canny move, of course, since I also was Jon’s walker so while Jon was at bat or on base–which was ALWAYS–I was not fielding. Combine that with Austin’s home run swing, even with a wiffle ball, the two boys racked up serious number of runs.

Safe at first!
Jon would hit first, get to first base, and Austin would hit him home and follow him in. Over and over again. Dave and I just had time to get a few swings in before the mosquitos discovered us and everyone ran in.

God, that’s amazing light from the sun! Very cool pics.
What I like about these picture is that if they didn’t have the people in them, they’d just be pretty sunset shots. Having people adds a deeper dimension to them, an almost lyrical quality… Love ’em.
