Baseballs, trains, and airplanes

Our local minor league team the Hickory Crawdads had a St. Paddy's day celebration today for families, so we headed out to the stadium to let little man run around.

The first thing he saw when we got out of the car was a little train that was running people around in the parking lot.

They had so much going on, a baseball pinata, a bounce house (I was not brave enough to allow Gray to go into this), a baseball pitch set-up, games on the field, and music.  Gray loved it.

We practiced running around the diamond, good training for the pee-wee little league!

After the baseball stadium we headed up the road to the Hickory airport.  Who knew they had such a cool aviation museum?  For FREE too!  Gray is in LOVE with planes, even more after our plane trip to Florida, so we thought he would enjoy this.  He loved it!  They have several war planes you can go up to, check out the cock pits, and they also have a small indoor museum.  He quickly made friends with the veteran military pilots volunteering inside, and we promised to be back.

Florida trip

Mam-moo and Gray

 Last week Gray and I flew down to Florida for a quick trip and a chance to soak up some sunshine.  It is never long enough, but we were able to squeeze in time with many of our friends and family.
Gray loved hanging out with pop-pop, playing on Grandma Great's piano, and watching the birds at Bob-ops.
