Baseball and Badger . . .

 . . . were just two of the many highlights of our week with Nonni and Uncle Jon in June.

 The baseball game on a Friday night was the Dust Devils' home opener complete with fireworks, so we took the opportunity to celebrate Father's Day a little early.  We had such a blast!  I'm pretty sure it's the first baseball game my mom has ever actually enjoyed.




Not only was it fireworks night, but also $1 hotdogs and small drinks!  Even Grace has probably had pop less than a dozen times in her lifetime -- they were pumped!


Elias just looking cute!

We stayed for the whole event including the fireworks afterwards, resulting in some very tired girls.


Despite a little of what we call rain in the tri-cities, we ventured out to conquer Badger Mountain  on Saturday morning.  4 kids 6 and under and one grandma with a broken arm barely even slowed us down.

After an intense game of playground tag at our local elementary school in which Grace opted to leap from the play structure landing on Uncle Jon, trusting that he would catch her and allow himself to be tagged, rather than allow her to fall to the ground, we had the great fortune of an impromtu sprinkler shower.






Monday we went out for opening day of cherry season!  Since this is the first time in 10 years we've lived outside Big 10 Country we have to find something to get geared up for :)  It's a great U-pick experience for kids because there is a lot of fruit and plenty of it is at their eye-level. 





On the last day of their visit we headed to the local splash pad -- fun times!




Such a memorable visit -- just wish they had stayed longer!  Love you, Nonni and Uncle Jon!
