March started off with me heading down to High Springs, Florida for a little Cavern diving. Things started off pretty poorly on this trip as I came down with a stomach virus pretty much as soon as I got there. I didn't finish the cavern course, but I did get to explore the Ball Room cave in Ginnie Springs. That is some amazingly clear water. And it's incredibly dark in the back of the cave with no lights on. Like really dark. Someday it would be nice to go back and finish the course.
While I was down there we had some seriously bad weather too, let's just say that I survived my first tornado warning intact.

Also in March, the boys had a blast coloring and decorating their Easter eggs. The creativity and talent level has definitely been stepped up a notch. Mom and Dad joined in the fun and we all had a great time decorating our eggs. Of course, the really fun part is pouring all the colored water down the drain. Some things never change.
In April we had Julie's birthday...Happy Birthday Julie! Of course, we have no pictures from that day. Hmmm...not sure how that happened. We all went to Fujiama Mama for some hibachi Japanese food. You'll just have to imagine it.
Also in April we had the kick off parade to the spring in-town little league baseball season. Ryan's is the Lugnuts and Cory is on the Lookouts.
In May Cory had his First Communion. We surprised Cory by having his cousin Sam come to visit and spend the weekend with us. Cory and Sam quickly made up for lost time.
Cory tried out for and made the 2nd grade travel baseball team. In June, Cory started playing with his new team - the Westfield Blue 2nd Grade Team. Here's a shot of Cory in his first game of the season about to slide into second on a stolen base attempt. He was safe, and later came around to score. Unfortunately, Cory's team lost their first game 8-9. We'll get 'em next time.
