The Kassel Family Project Life 365

It may not look like much, but what you don’t see is the three hours of a house to myself. Wine, pizza rolls, and quiet are a little piece of Heaven.

The MKT Trail has some pretty significant damage due to all the flooding. It is going to take some hard work to get it opened again. Please let it stop raining so repair work can begin. I love this trail!

I knew this kid was good for something!

The Mid-MO Stars went 1-1 today in an abbreviated tournament. However, John had a tough day on the field. He was lifeless through the first game and sat the bench for an inning. He bounced back in the second game, but he was not the same John that we have seen in the last month. Everyone has these days, but they are especially hard to watch as a parent. You want your kid to play well, and it is so hard when they just can’t seem to get it together for more than one out. I know it happens. I had these days when I was playing volleyball too. It is a whole different world when you are watching and you can’t do anything about it.

This is what a baseball team does when fields are too wet to play.

Laura is never allowed to come to a tournament weekend again. This would be the second time she has come that games were rained out. I am only half joking…

It was a relaxed Independence Day. We spent the day doing whatever we wanted and then headed to the Lucky’s Market parking lot for Columbia’s Fire in the Sky.

This was the pre-show.

Unfortunately, the breeze all but stopped not too long before the fireworks show started. Because of this, the smoke did not clear as much as it usually does.

We did not get the full effects of the show, but we still saw some beautiful fireworks. Happy Birthday, America!
