Mini Golf and Legos

The boys put mini golf on our summer bucket list. I had to return something at Opry Mills, so we headed to the putt putt nearby. It was a HOT day!

We may need to work on our golf form a little, but we had fun!

She picked up the ball and put it right next to the hole and then declared herself the winner every time, lol!

The boys all picked out new legos with their birthday money! They did a great job finding a lego in their price range and then paying for it by themselves. Way to go boys!

Father's Day

We had a great Father's day. We played at the park with Big in the morning. We watched the UT vols play baseball at Denton's house in the afternoon. Michael cooked steaks for the family at night. Unfortunately, I only took one picture the whole day. Happy Father's Day!

Cincinnati Reds Trip- Part 2

The kids were exhausted after our first night in Cincinnati and slept until 9:30am! The Reds game wasn't until 4pm, so we had a little time to kill before heading over to the stadium. We swam in the pool in the morning.

Then walked over to eat lunch at Moerlein Lager House. The tables were full inside so we ate outside at a bunch of picnic tables in the shade. The boys could run around outside and it was the perfect scenario!

 

I'm not sure what all of my children are doing in this photo! But here is our group! Such a fun group of boys!

We walked into the stadium as soon as it opened to get our bobbleheads. We were all excited about them!

We headed over to the kids area to see if any of them could hit a home run! Patrick, Will and Cruz all hit one! They had the best cheering section!

The kids enjoyed ice cream after their hitting session!

Then Conor threw out the first pitch with George Foster! He was so nice to invite them to come with him! They were so excited!

We caught it on the big screen at the start of the game!

Sweet Caitie asked to take a picture! Love it!

We sat in the same seats as last night, but unfortunately there was a band that was playing on the sidewalk right outside of the stadium. Since they were on city ground the stadium couldn't do anything about it. They were so loud we could barely even hear the announcer or any of the game. They ended up moving us after the third inning to some great seats on the first base line in the shade. 

Caitie begged to take a picture, so we got in line and she came up with this pose. Love it!

We headed back to the hotel to swim to cool off after the game. Then headed to dinner at the Gruff for some delicious pizzas!

We headed out early the next morning! It was such a fun trip! We had such a blast!

Cincinatti Reds Trip- Part 1

We headed to Cincinnati on Friday for a weekend full of Reds baseball! Michael was nice enough to let Caitie and I crash the boys trip this year. It was fun to see the place i've heard him talk about for so many years! 

Caught this cute little picture of Conor and Peyton looking out over the stadium. It was their first trip to the game as well!

We were excited for the Friday night game! 

We got the three little ones their certificates for their first Red's game!

We were sitting in right field in the last row. It was really nice not having people behind us and having a place to put our things. We were also sitting with our backs to the river and it was windy and felt great on a hot day. 

The fireworks show was really amazing. It lasted such a long time. Caitie was so excited about all of the fireworks. She would yell "oh a pink one" "oh my gosh a purple one." It was really cute!

Our hotel was across the bridge, so we had a beautiful view of the stadium was we were walking back to the hotel.

We also saw the strawberry moon on our way back. It was really pretty. 

Then we joined friends for a few drinks in the lobby of the hotel and stayed up way too late!

The Reds ended up losing to the Braves by one run. It wasn't the ending we had hoped for but it was a good game! It was a fun first night!
