Morning Surprise

I was slightly disappointed that we never got to look up what it takes to adopt a kid in the foster system. After our snacks, the twins both came home with friends in tow. Kyle was dropped off by Marie, but met with Dave and company at the door. Dave brought Garret, Alex, and Kelvin home to show off the mechanical backstop in the backyard.

Noah and I ended up watching them play with it in the backyard. Playing soon became a competition of who can throw the fastest.

"Oh yea! Still amazing!" Garret flexed his biceps after the machine flashed a '93' after his fifth try.

"Move away!" Kyle pushed him away. "Let me try again." Kyle kept repeating that, but couldn't get faster than '90'.

Dave was competing as well, but he wasn't trying to throw his hardest. I don't know if he was scared he would hurt himself before Monday's game or if he just knew he couldn't compete with Garret and Kyle.

"I wanna try!" Noah jumped up and tried to squeeze in.
