Quick KC Trip!

The day after my cousin's reception, we headed to KC for a Royals game and Worlds of Fun with my brother, Mike and his two kids, Brett and Natalie and my sister, Mary, or as we all call her "Tooty!" We packed a baseball game, Coco Key Water Park (where we stayed one night) and Worlds of Fun in 32 hours! I decided that was way too much for a pregnant lady in summer to endure! I was completely exhausted when we got home and still haven't recuperated! However, everyone else had fun, especially Cameron and Charlie! They loved the baseball game, of course, and even got a chance to run the bases afterwards, which was a real treat for them! They couldn't believe that they got to go on an actual major league field! My sister and I even joined them, but I actually "walked" the bases! We then went to our hotel, the Sheridan, which has a new CocoKey waterpark attached to it. It was really fun, but we only had a couple of hours to enjoy it since it closed at 8pm that night! I think Cameron went down the huge slides at least 20 times! The next morning we ventured to Worlds of Fun for almost 7 hours of heat and fun for the kids! Charlie went on every ride that he was big enough for and Cameron even went on some small rides so Charlie wasn't alone! He is such a good big brother. All of the kids enjoyed so many rides and definitely got their money's worth since they rode sooo many! I love big rides, so this time all I could do was watch, but made sure Trav knew that next time we come, he'll be watching baby girl while I enjoy rides with my boys!

Cousin Jessica's Wedding Reception

We spent last Saturday at Grandma Helen's old house to celebrate my cousin Jess's wedding reception. She actually doesn't get married until this coming weekend, but the wedding is in Minnesota and only for immediate family, so they decided to come back to Blair so everyone wouldn't have to travel as far. It was great to see everyone and we all had a blast!

Cameron's first baseball game!

Cameron had his first baseball game on Father's Day and did a fantastic job! He loves to play and has gotten really good, too! He had no problem hitting any of the pitches and caught the first fly ball while he was playing first base. The ball would have been a foul and was way out of his reach, but he dove for it and actually caught it! Everyone was cheering and couldn't believe he went for it and actually caught it! Then in the last inning while playing second base, he stopped a ground ball and got the kid on second out ending the game. We're glad we enjoys playing and hope he continues to like it as much as he does now! Also, Charlie is now known as "Bat Boy" because he volunteered to get the bats after the players were up to bat. It was so cute how into it he was! He would even put the bats back on the rack in the dugout very properly! The umpire even kept calling him "bat boy" so now we are probably going to have to get a shirt made for him that says "BAT BOY"! All in all, it was a great day for a ball game and hopefully Daddy had a wonderful Father's Day watching his two boys in baseball heaven!

Charlie back in the crib!

We are almost done getting the Baby Girl's room ready, and Charlie just had to get in the crib! He wanted to pretend to be the "baby" and get to be in a crib again...for a few minutes anyway! He is sooo excited to have a baby in the house and can't wait to be a big brother!

Mall of America/Nickelodeon Theme Park

The rest of the trip including lots of shopping and alot of time at Mall of America's Nickelodeon Theme Park. That was the boys' favorite part of the trip, in addition to the game, they reminded me! There were tons of fun rides, age appropriate, and very new and clean atmosphere. I, unfortunately couldn't go on any rides, but daddy enjoyed a few with them. We got the boys wristbands so they could go non-stop for almost 5 hours! They had a blast and it was worth the cost!
