Spring Break

Greetings;

Howdy folks I gotta confess this has been a great Spring Break. Oh sure we hit a rough patch but that's just it , a rough patch. Junior Mint was overwhelmed , spoiled and once he realized I am still the captain of the ship he shaped up.

We started break with a lovely visit to DC for the cherry blossoms. Ok so they were only buds but we still enjoyed our trip, our walk and the kite festival. We followed that with trip to the lower slower shore to visit my mom and for our first visit to Chincoteague and Wallops. ''Twas on this visit that I realized my little guy was tired and so was I. I also realized we were spoiling him. But I kept control of the ship.

After that trip we rested for a couple of days before heading to the UTZ factory an Harpers Ferry . Ok I messed up and although it was a good day I saw where I could improve.

Friday was all about the home opener for the O's. nice chillaxin' sorta day. Had to rest before invading southern PA. Grabbed some supplies from UTZ outlet for my dad birthday party then hiked Codorus State Park for the first time what a great park ! We finally made out way my dads house for his party. I tell ya little guy really loves helping and looking out for his little cousin. Those boys played baseball and laughed for hours. Great seeing him be the boy we all know he is.

Sunday was a tabla rasa day and my young man asked to return to HF to hike the Maryland Heights trail we skipped a few days ago. " Pa you've been talking about it for a long time and the mountains are your spiritual place. You deserve it and I wanna do this for you " Dang it boy - you're on to me. Needless to say it was the best day ever !!! After laughing , gasping , loving, and learning we enjoyed the view and climbed a few rocks. I figured he deserved a surprise so on the way home we stopped at a random field and played baseball.

Yeah I'd say it was a great spring break. Sadly now time to deal with those who don't get him. He's not perfect and I'm not a perfect father . I do know that on order for him to learn accountability and flexibility I must model it. He knows I'm the captain of the ship and sail forward . Poor lad is a Montesorri kid trapped in a factory education system. He has too much playing the system and the others. But I know him and see his future is bright. Just need to jump through a few more hoops for others. Guess what? We're the Robinson Boys and we got this
