The raccoon ruined our picture- he snuck up in the back and scared Grace!
Running the Bases
This summer Hannibal got a prospect league team. My sister actually got a job working with them in guest services. So one of the fun things this summer has been having her live with us part time. It has been a little more interesting since our basement flooded. Instead of her having the basement to herself she has been sleeping on our couch & we have all been sharing one bathroom. But, she has been a trooper and other than my kids waking her up with excitement at 7 a.m. its really worked out fine. The girls love running out to the couch each morning to find Aunt Jo Jo (since she is usually at work when they go to bed). And I've enjoyed being able to sneak away and do girl stuff with her like going out to eat & to the movies.
We have been wanting to take the girls to a game all season. Well, kind of last minute it worked out for us to go on Sunday. My parents were coming to the game and someone from church offered to share their season tickets. Free tickets + extra helpers = perfect opportunity, even if we were tired from our trip! The girls really enjoyed it. Grace loved the "funny men." Her name for their two mascots, Rascal & Shoeless Joe. They also loved waving to Aunt JoJo (even though she didn't dance). And they ran the bases after the game. Faith was determined to walk the entire thing all by herself, even though we walked all the way around the outfield and then the bases. It wasn't even hot & the Cavemen won! (both of which haven't happened recently)
