One Friday night, we decided to check out the Joliet Slammers baseball game. It was Disney night and once Raegan heard that, she was ready to go! Auntie Julie joined us and it turned out to be a great night for Joshua's first baseball game. We sat in the lawn and cheered the team on to a win. Raegan didn't seem to be too scared of the mascots, but they also didn't come too close to us. After the game there was a great fireworks show. Not too bad a night for just $5 a ticket! We plan on going back and bringing more people with us.
Another baseball related adventure was to U.S. Cellular for the Grinder Bash, which is a party for the season ticket holders and we were invited as guests to go with Grams, Auntie Julie, and Uncle John. We got to walk the field, sit in the dugouts and see the Sox home (as Rae put it). It was a warm day, but we managed to survive.
As the summer winds down (yikes...) we are looking forward to having many more trips and adventures. Hopefully we will make the most of the time left before school starts. My brother Scott is getting married in 5 weeks so we are preparing for that. Raegan is going to be the flower girl and both Michael and I are standing up.
Michael is busy with cross country practice in the mornings and after that, he heads to school to get in a few hours of work. He recently was offered a he position as the programmer. He basically schedules all the classes for the kids at his school. It's not so much of a promotion, but it is something that every school needs, so something of a job security. He will still be teaching yearbook, which I think he is really happy about. This means no lessons to plan or papers to grade; just one deadline that hopefully won't come as so much of a surprise this time around.
