A Busy & Fun Day

What a fun day we had! Friday morning we got up and quickly got ready to go to the zoo. We met up with my college roommate and her little Elise and had a great time. It's fun that we both have season passes so we could relax and enjoy the morning instead of trying to see every animal and take hundreds of pictures. Brayden loved the animals, but he also enjoyed running down all the hills, looking for sticks, climbing on rocks, etc. Brooklyn did really well also. She mainly hung out in the stroller watching all the many people and kids everywhere. Here are the few pictures I did take.
Brayden and Elise: After the zoo the kids napped all afternoon. After Josh got home from work we quickly headed out to the Bees game. We stopped at Sonic for dinner then made it to the stadium during the 5th inning. Since we weren't sure if the kids would make it the whole game, we had decided it would be better to get to the game late than have to leave early. We met up with Ryan and Trianna Tucker, and also her cousin Amelia and his brother Chuck.

We sat on the grass, which ended up being perfect. Brayden had a lot of fun running around and bouncing his basketball. Brooklyn was able to crawl all over and stay busy.
After the game we all went down onto the field for the fireworks. Brayden was entertaining everyone as he ran around playing with his ball. Both the kids were mesmerized by the fireworks. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing in our direction so we got ash all over us. At one point it was hard to keep our eyes open to see the fireworks. Here's Brayden trying to keep his eyes open. The kids hung in there and we finally returned home and all crashed.
