Baseball

Last night we checked another item off of our summer list and

went to a Tacoma Rainiers game. 

 Can I just say...

It was so much fun!!!

We had heard these games were super-family friendly,  

and indeed it was.

Check out Lincoln + Lila running the bases after the game.

And the weather was perfect.  

It was a steamy summer night watching our local AAA team.

Lincoln was very brave.

They had some baseball treats + 2 giant lemonades.  

We went to the bathroom 8 times.  

No lie.

There might have been a snow cone involved as well.

The twins sat through 9 full innings.  

We were so very proud.

We will definitely be seeing more games in the very (near) future.

Summer...so far!

Summer is exhausting.  And ever-so-fun.

Summer is so short here in the NW that we seem to jam-pack everything into a very small amount of time. 

Here are way too manysome pics from my iPhone.  After going through these, I now understand why I feel so spent.
