The Reno Aces!

The next Sunday we got to all go to a Reno Aces Baseball game. We were hoping that Jers brother Scott and his wife Shannan and their kids could come from California for the weekend and go with us, but Scott is a CHP (California Highway Patrol) and got called to testify in court for some dummy he ticketed. But Jers other brother Brady and his wife Kaitlyn came with their son Jackson. It was free shirt for kids under 12 day so everyone but Jenna got one. (We didn't buy her a ticket so she didn't get one.) The kids were so excited.

Logan chillin' with Grandma. The park even has a kids area and they got to go play there a couple of times.


So we were going to get the kids some food and a lady stopped me and asked if Jenna could run in the small fry race. After explaining what that was I of course wanted her to. Kylee went and got Jer so she could run from him to me on the side of the field. She got a free shirt and some coupons for free fries for doing it! It worked out perfect so they all got shirts!
She almost started running before they started so Jer had to stop her. Then she hesitated when they said start and didn't win. She still had fun.
After the game they let all the kids run the bases. They lined up and followed them down to the field. The camera got bumped to manual and Jer didn't notice so the pictures are fuzzy, but you can still see how much fun they had! Here's Logan. His cousin Jackson, who is 3, ran around a couple of times. He is a huge baseball fan! A lady had to take his hand and get him to go to Brady. It was so cute.
Summer was one of the first kids out there. She cut in line I think, but boy was she serious about running the bases!
Kylee went with Jenna. She was whining most of the time wanting me.
After the game Grandpa and Grandma took us to get McDonald's ice cream cones. And we got some free fries from Jenna running the race. I love how much she loved the ice cream. What a cute face.

Yosemite!

We drove on the first Tuesday or Wednesday to Yosemite National Park. It is such an awesome place! We took so many pictures, but there is no way they can do it justice. Yosemite is a skinny valley with towering cliffs on either side with some really cool water falls. It is so neat to see.

We got to take a short hike to Lower Yosemite Falls. The kids loved it!
We didn't think to bring the stroller, duh.


A nice lady offered to take our picture. There were tons of people there, some hiking up to the falls.







A pretty lake on the way back. I loved the trees! We're hoping to go see the redwoods next summer!
It was a 3 1/2 hr drive there and this was the pretty sky on the way back.

Driving and getting dart guns!

There were some pretty skies on our drive. This was a rare time with Jenna sleeping. The kids just don't sleep in the car. Never have. At least we had movies!

We played with cousin Adams dart guns while at the Ovards house and stopped at Wal-mart by Grandma's and got two. Later we went back and got two more. They were so worth the money. Everyone had fun with the dart guns!
Even Jenna!
