First Pool trip for the summer

Happy almost summer!  We visited the pool today after school and I can't believe they actually went in!  The water (and air temperature) in my opinion was FREEZING!  But seriously after 2 full weeks of begging from Miss C, I finally gave in.  I did make them wait until the temperature outside was at least in the 80's (and not raining).  I think today's high was a chilly 81, well chilly for some swimming.  I told them I would take them, but under no circumstances would I actually get in.  

They actually swam for a little bit and then I made them get out when they started turning purple.  It was a successful first pool visit if I say so myself!  At least now they will get off my back :)

Swing batter batter....

Another great evening at the ball field!  We took a family trip to see our local minor league team play.  These games are so fun!  The field is really nice and it's not that crowded at all.  The best part?  Cheap eats!  We eat like kings during these games and don't really have to spend a lot.  I think the kids now like to go to the games just for the food.  Last night we managed to consume hot dogs, peanuts, cotton candy, funnel cakes and an adult beverage or two :).  Who wants the over/under on how many of us have belly aches in the morning?!
