Stateside Drive Batallion


We love Stateside Drive. Sure there are the summer theater productions, Christmas caroling, Labor Day Picnics, and Halloween Haunted Ship Parties. But on top of that, what also makes it a fabulous place is the day to day stuff. On any given weekday from 2:30 till around 5pm you will likely find the Stateside Drive kids playing outside on the playground, in the woods, at the basketball hoop, etc. Rylee is usually the only girl, but she sure does keep up with the boys! They come up with the most creative games and the boys do try their best to find a place for Rylee...such as when they play Star Wars. The boys are usually storm troopers and Rylee is Princess Leah. Although sometimes she is a warrior right along with them.
Yesterday this took on a whole new meaning:

Presenting the Stateside Drive Battalion!

Ben was their leader. Their artillery consisted of 4 big sticks, a real-pretend rifle, and a hockey stick.

Ben taught them how to aim...

...and fire...

...and CHARGE!!!

Apparently not all of them made it!
And what did the impressionable Landon think about all of this?
"Guys wait up!"

He lined up right along beside them.
The south has risen again...at least on Stateside Drive!

That is so fun that Rylee has lots of friends to play with, and she doesn't get excluded because she's a girl.
Love her new hairdo.
Nice job on the tree in Landon's room. Darling nursery!
