Sunday May 16, 2010 -- Baseball

After a great morning of learning about our history, I was off to watch the Harrisburg Senators play some baseball with my friends from St. Patrick School. Students from the school got to sing the National Anthem and they led the crowd in singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch.

Check out these photos from the game:





After this busy weekend of learning, I'm ready for a nap. Back at St. Patrick's tomorrow.

Hi,

Well today I had another great adventure. I started off my day by going to watch my friends from St. Patrick School run in a track meet. The Celtics from St. Pats won the meet and now the JV girls are 9-0, the JV boys are 8-0-1 and the varsity teams are both 8-1 this season.

Here are a few photos from the track meet:



From there we went to Armed Forces Day in Harrisburg. WOW!! There was so much to see and learn about our military. I saw helicopters, tanks, soldiers, veterans and so much more. We should all be very proud of these brave men and women who serve our country.

Here I am with my cousin Patriot Pete checking out one of the armored vehicles.





Getting a tour of a "Stryker" vehicle. Did you know that this thing weighs 39,569lbs!!

Until tomorrow...

Field Trip to Harrisburg, PA

Morpheus here! I just got back from my trip to Harrisburg, and it was great! We visited the Capital building, and there was a cool fountain on the outside I got to see. Then I went to Strawberry Square. That was a lot of fun. After that, I went to the Whitaker center. There was a lot of cool science stuff and an iMax theater with a HUGE screen. Finally, we walked along the Susquehanna River and my fantastic day was over. Well, it’s time for me to get going again, I can’t wait to tell you about my day at Cedar Cliff!
