We had a busy day today. The day started out by having to be at the ball park for opening ceremonies at 8:30. I have to say the opening ceremonies were pretty impressive. They had the Air Force Honor Guard, both Senators and our House Representative. Of course we also had the beautiful singer who forgot the words to our National Anthem, got help from the crowd and then got giant hugs in the middle of the stadium from her brother and sister. It was perfect! Too bad the news wasn't there!!!!

Here is Ryan and I listening to the opening ceremonies. He climbed the fence all by himself for the first time. The pictures don't do the ceremony justice, there were probably about 300 kids on the field and their parents watching from the crowd!

After the ceremonies were over we headed to the Bug and Bud Festival. All of us wanted to ride the paddle boats (you can see them in the background) but we did not have enough time.

We had to be back at the ball field for Chris's game at 1:00. The coach was out of town for this game so Ken and I volunteered to help. Therefore, we didn't get any pictures of the game. I actually didn't even see Chris hit the ball because I was getting the kids ready to bat.
Let me tell you, it was HOT! When we got into the car the car temperature read 98 degrees. When we got home the temperature read 93! So we let the boys go under the sprinklers.

Boy, was it a fun and busy day. All this happened and we were ready to eat dinner by 4:00!
