Fun 4th of July weekend

We had a fun 4th of July weekend in the Twin Cities. We went to Taste of Minnesota Friday and watched Fireworks. It turned into a late night. It was after midnight when we got back to Ron's sister's house where we spent the weekend (even thought they were out of town). Hannah was passed out dizzy with exhaustion.

We bought Hannah some Twins attire as she would be attending her first game on Sunday.

Of course we had to buy a shirt with our favorite player's name on it (I have a jersey with his name also). Joe Mauer didn't actually play on Sunday but we still got to see him since it was announced during the game he would be the starting catcher in the All Star Game. The Twins have three players on the team.

Hannah did OK at the game as long she was feeding her cute little face. I was worried because she is such a wiggle worm and only sits still in her car seat and on an airplane. During the game she consumed nearly a whole bag of popcorn, a little soft pretzel, a snow cone and a lemonade.

The Twins didn't let us down. They trailed until the 7th inning. I told Ron they would break it open in the 7th and that is what they did scoring the go a head run and ended up winning 4-3. Wouldn't you know Hannah had to go potty during the inning but I was able to rush her in and out and not miss too much of the excitement.

Carlos Gomez at bat. He is one of the new players this year and is a load of fun to watch.

The evening found us at the park near Aunt Bonnie's house. Ron's sister and husband arrived home while we were at the game so Hannah got to spend some time with Aunt Bonnie & Uncle Jim. She wasn't able to see her other Aunt & Uncle that live in the area as they were away to welcome their daughter and son-in-law back from Iraq. We are so happy to have them back on US soil and thank them for their service.
