Double header and back to back Baseball Games

Last weekend we hit up the ballpark for a double header. We arrived at the beginning start 5:00 and headed home around 11:00 with the game still going on. It was a very long night but the kids were great. We had are treats we brought in; Apples, graham crackers, yogurt and then hit up the hot dogs a bit later. Gibby watched most of both games. While, Etta colored, played with her pink giraffe and goofed around the whole night.

We want to run the bases!
Extra innings made this impossible we left before the game was over, next time!


The next day was Dogs at the park day. Yep, we headed over to the ball park with Hatcher and Scoscia too. We tried to sit in the seats for a bit but it was to hot and to crowded. Everyone liked chilling on the lawn. The dogs found a cool spot under the picnic bench. Etta went around petting all the other dogs and Gibby followed after. When the game was over they played "Who let the dogs out" as we headed home.

Making sure his hat was on correctly

I can honestly say it was the worst game experience I have ever had. Come next year I will have forgotten all about it and take them again. Go Bees!

Grandma Belle came to Visit

If you don't know already Etta loves calling her family members and friends by princesses or Disney characters. Etta loves her two Grandma's, but instead of Grandma Donna and Grandma Peggy they have different names. Andy's mom is called "Grandma Belle".

We had Grandma Belle come visit us last week and had a wonderful time. She isn't able to attend Etta's Dance recital so she came down early and had the opportunity to watch Etta's dance class.

We went to the Library just before dance for some fun books and music.

Look at my beautiful Dancer!

Along with lunches, slip n sliding, trips to the store Grandma Belle played baseball, read books and played games with Etta and Gibson. We went to the swimming pool and took Grandma to "Five Guys", Yum Yum.

On Grandma's last night we headed up Millcreek. We had tons of fun. The dogs and kids played and threw rocks in the river. We made some BBQ chickens and ended with Smores. Gibby wasn't feeling to good so we headed back a bit early. We all had a great time. I took tons of pictures and since this is my "scrapbook". I am posting all my favorites!
