Now that I have caught up on my June blogging, it is time to get started on July. The reason I am so behind is because our summer was just jam-packed. I thought once school started I would be able to catch my breath and get caught up on many things - but no, life just gets busier.
Every other year we go to Utah for the 4th of July since it is my Grandma's birthday and the Hansen reunion. When we are down there my dad usually gets us tickets to the Stadium of Fire. The show and fireworks are always spectacular, which means my kids are totally spoiled when it comes to celebrating the 4th of July.
This year was not the year to go down to Utah. So, we had to come up with something else exciting to do for the 4th. We decided that going to a baseball game and watching the fireworks afterwards would be totally American, plus we have never taken our kids to a game before (how did that happen?). Chris' brother, Mike, was still in town from Hoop Fest and we also joined up with his brother, Jeff, and his family. We all had a great time together - and my kids actually made it through a whole baseball game. (Didn't hurt that it was a quick game!).
4th of July baseball game. The Spokane Indians versus the Eugene Emeralds. The Indians won - wahoo!!!!
An airplane fly-by added to the entertainment.
The boys (Sean, Jackson, and Chad) get into the game.
What do the girls do during the game? Play hairdresser of course.
A handsome bunch - the Caviness Men (Chris, Mike, and Jeff).
Our patriotic crew.
Fireworks to celebrate the game and the 4th of July. Nice, but a little tame for us.
A family picture after the game.
The parking lot was a mess after the game. We decided to wait out the crowds by watching the kids invent a new game of tackle-basketball. The rules changed constantly but it mostly involved running around with a basketball, tackling your cousins (ball or no ball in hand) and screaming really, really loud.
Run Sean, run!!!!
