Bees' Game

We were suppose to go to Las Vegas to go to my cousins graduation parties. I was sad that we decided not to go because I wanted to see my family but Dale made it up to me and planned a weekend of fun. We went to the zoo, lagoon the next day, Dales softball game the day after and Bees game that night, and then the next day was Fathers Day. It was such a great family bonding weekend. The best part was we had great luck everywhere. Amy had passes for Linc and I to get into the zoo, Jimmy had Lagoon passes, and this guy walks up to us to hand us some 1st base line tickets on the lower bowl for free. I think it was meant to be, to stay home. I felt like I won a weekend family getaway. It was fantastic. Thank you to all that helped contribute to our getaway.

This was Lincolns second Bees game and it was so fun. He is a very funny little boy when the music comes on. He stands up and starts dancing. Lincoln is fascinated with sports and has Dale and I draw out how to play all sports. For example I have to draw a baseball field, my stick figured players and tell him what each position is. Then draw the ball with arrows on what happens with the ball when the batter hits it. YOU are probably thinking he doesn't know whats going on why tell him such detail. But oh no, he knows if I am missing anything. He makes us do this for basketball and football too. I love how smart and how curious to life he is. I will always enjoy this part of motherhood. Watching his mind focus and learn.

LAGOON!!!

Lagoon was so fun. It was Lincolns first time and he enjoyed the safe rides. As soon as we put him on the kid roller coaster he was frightened. The rest of the rides we had to break him in again. My poor baby cried so hard the next ride that we decided to go on the train. He was even scared of the train until we saw the animals. Then he was chipper as can be.

We then went for a walk toward the carousel and we stopped at the fountains and watched Lincoln contemplate if he wanted to get wet or not. Once we got to the carousel we realized how much we didn't want to go on it. We had a lot of fun. Dale won Lincoln a lamb and Lincoln thought he was the greatest.

We then went to the baseball pitching machine thing.......Dale almost threw his arm up trying to win Lincoln a mini basketball, but he accomplished this in one try. I see a girl in heels throw a ball and get a prize too. So, my big headed self said I can win him a basketball too. It looks easy! Dale, laughs and hands me some money. I then start stretching and loosening my shoulders when I realize I am ready, I wound up and then gave it all I got. I think the little kid before me did better then I did. I sucked. I didn't even win the prize everyone else was winning (a plastic blow up baseball). There are moments when your head is just bigger than reality. I am just not athletic. Sorry, Lincoln I didn't win anything.

When the day was coming to an end we decided to pack up and head home. Before we even got out of the parking lot, Lincoln was out cold. There is good that comes from theme parks, GREAT NIGHT SLEEPS!

The Zoo

We went to zoo with Amy and kids and Lisa and baby Taylor. It was so fun to watch Lincoln with his cousins. He wants to be a big boy so bad. Taylor slept alot of the times. She must like her stroller and it was a nice day to. I love taking Lincoln to the zoo. He knows the animals and growls at the scary ones. It's hilarious. Easton loves the reptiles, which I don't care for. They gross me out. Easton is so smart and knows all of them and where they live. He loves to read all the little templates about each animal.
