Our 4th Of July!

At the end of June Joe and I talked about what we wanted to do for the 4th of July! We thought of BBQ, or going to Seven Peaks (our local water park), then we thought of going to a minor league baseball game. And that idea was the winner, we thought since Jaxson played t-ball this spring that he would love to go to a game. And so we bought our tickets a week ahead of time and I am sure glad we did, we had really good seats. The day came and Jaxson was so excited that he could not stand himself, all day long he asked if we could leave now. We parked our car at a commuter train station and rode the train down to the ballpark (was the best idea ever, did not have to fight traffic). We got in and Jaxson and Bryce were in heaven, they loved to watch the game, eat hot dogs, popcorn, and an icee. They had more sugar and food than they have ever had, and they thought it was the greatest thing. The baseball game went into 4 extra innings and did not get over until about 11:30pm, then the ballpark had an amazing fireworks show. At first Jaxson and Bryce were scared then they started to enjoy the fireworks. By the time everything was over and we got home after 1:00 in the morning, the boys were exhausted, but they had so much fun. They loved cheering for who ever was at bat and also loved to watch the mascot (a bee) dance around and get everyone moving. We had such a good time with our boys and we might make this an annual tradition for the 4th of July. I hope everyone had a great and safe 4th. We love and miss you.
