Summer baseball...

So last weekend, Drew's baseball team played in the show me state games.... here's a picture of Drew catching (his favorite position).....
And then tuesday Randy got offered tickets to the Royals game on Wednesday.... and they were playing the Twins! The boys were so excited... we got there before the gates opened, and Drew and I went straight to the twins dugout to wait for Joe Mauer- Drew's favorite player.... unfortunately, this was a 1:00 game and the heat index was like 105, so the players didn't come out until 30 minutes before the game....but we still saw him warm up, closer than we've ever been... it was still really cool (Drew said his legs were shaking!)

lions and hippos and stingrays, oh my!

Lauren came home for a visit, so me and the boys took her and Matt to the zoo and art museum yesterday. We went to the zoo's stingray exhibit and it was amazing! It is so worth going to see...you actually get to touch the stingrays, and the boys got to feed them...there is a video of Austin feeding at the end of this blog...









The hippos were playing/fighting right in front of us...
