Sweet, Sweet Summer

School's out! Yay! And Daddy is home for two months for summer break. We kicked off his vacation by going to the Bees game on Friday night. You might be confused about this first picture. Well, we decided to ride Trax to the game and Tate pointed out this sign in the parking lot. He said, "Look, a potty." I assumed he associated the sign with potties because of the stick figure on a blue background being similar to those that designate Mens and Womens restrooms. But then he said, "That guy is sitting on the potty." Well, by dang if it doesn't look like a guy sitting on the potty. This should be the international symbol for restroom.

Riding the train to the baseball game.

Tate and daddy enjoying the game.

It turns out Tori is a baseball fan, too. As long as she can cuddle up in her blankey and sleep for a few innings.

The game went into extra innings and the Bees ended up winning in the bottom of the eleventh. That's a lot of innings for a little boy to sit through. Luckily, the people in front of us kept him entertained and gave him treats like this big hunk of cotton candy.

Warning: Cotton candy may cause severe stickiness accompanied by the growth of facial hair.

Saturday we headed over to the Stake Family Fun Day. Breakfast was followed by an array of activities, including train rides, face painting, fishing pond, pony rides, dunking machine, tug-o-wars, snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn, etc. Tate loved the train rides.

And, much to my surprise, he agreed to get a Tiger painted on his face. He spent most of the morning growling at everyone.

And, again to my surprise, he enjoyed riding the ponies. It's been a fun couple of days and now we're looking forward to a good, long Sunday to rest and get the sugar out of our systems.
