Normally, our bible class has a “couples-night-out” each month. We ditch the kids and go out to eat or some sort of couple function. This month, though, we got to go up to the Holthus field house and bring the whole family.

The Coppingers set the whole thing up and it was a lot of fun. They had some organized games for the kids, but Hadley was having fun running around, kicking balls and playing with Ethan, Dawson and Makai.

Holthus also worked great because they have the batting cages, which we used as kid cages and kept them contained. It was only when Hadley started practicing throwing the hard baseball’s did I feel it necessary to intervene.

Towards the end of the night, Hadley and Makai found the water fountain. Despite what Garrett may tell you, Makai was the clear instigator in the Hadley amount of water Hadley was covered in by the end of the night.

Before leaving, we took the kids up on the running track and after two laps Hadley was ready to head home. We assumed she’d sleep great, due to the two hours of energy-burning she’d just partaken in, but unfortunately it didn’t work like that. She was up from 2-330 with Lindsey and then I was with her from 330-500. Fun times.
