Hawks Baseball

We took the kids and some friends to a Hawks game on Tuesday night.  It was the most fun we have ever had at a game before.

 Cody got to race Humphrey the Hawk on the field in the middle of the game.  He totally kicked booty, even in his blue crocks.  The guy interviewing him asked how old he was and when Cody said 6, he asked if he was starting school soon.  Cody said yes, that he would be in 1st grade.  Then the guy said, "So you will be starting school for the first time, that is so fun."  Then Cody corrected him, "No, I said I'm going into FIRST grade."  Duh, get with it man!  It was so funny.

 And, as if racing the hawk wasn't awesome enough on it's own, they gave him 10 "Hawk's Bucks" to spend however he wanted.  And he got a free hot dog and drink.  The kids was in heaven with all his food.

 Kathleen couldn't decide on a baseball or a heart.  So she compromised:

 Brandon got his bobcat award.  He is such a cute little scout.  We sure have been having fun with him in the scouting program.

 Ryan and I went to the Shakespeare festival.  And yes, this is a sexy self-taken picture.  Those always look so good.

 Cody really wanted to spend some time with me one morning.  But I really wanted to spend some time on the elliptical.  So he came with me.  Instead of sitting on the chair I got out for him, he chose to sit in the garbage can lid with his DS and his stick.  Oh the joys of childhood, and the joys of not caring about germs and dirt.
