One of John’s teammates, A.J. Seymour, made this picture. He edited a video that his mom took of John hitting his first home run of 2021. Look at those boys waiting for John to touch home plate!
Long Gone John
Baseball Movies
It is time to introduce the kids to another baseball movie.
National Museum of Transportation
We visited the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis today. It was not a typical Kassel Family Spring Break trip, but you take what you can get sometimes.
We spent the day wandering through both the indoor and outdoor parts of the museum. Some of the cars on display were really impressive and unique!
I think that the Union Pacific “Big Boy” 4006 was one of the most impressive parts of the day. It is quite literally, huge.
We also spent a lot of time looking at the train track snow remover. Andy referred to it as the “Big, Spinny Wheel of Death.” There were foot marks on the side of the car that went up to about 8 feet high.
It was definitely a great way to spend the day, and both kids were appreciative of the trip. Maybe, we can take a real Spring Break trip in 2022!
Ankle Socks
I just want to get John ankle socks. You would think it would be easy, but… The first time I grabbed no-show socks, which he already has. So, I took those back to Target and they were out of ankle socks in his size. Today, the Target shopper grabbed crew socks, so those will go back tomorrow. Who knew it could be so hard to buy a simple package of ankle socks?
Breakfast for Dinner
Routine
Every morning, it is empty and reload the dishwasher. Drink a cup of coffee. Pay bills. Update the blog. Prep breakfast and lunch. Rinse and repeat.
Celebration
There is nothing quite like celebrating his first home run of the year with his teammates at home plate…
