3 on 3 fun

summer must really be close

tonight the boys kicked off their 3 on 3 season!

both alex and ben have teams

for their first time ever playing 3 on 3

alex's team did really well

ben's team won both games

the boys had a great night at 3 on 3

drew got his football equipment for HIGH SCHOOL

yikes

all PERFECT reasons to get big dipper

target field fun

this year the third graders added a field trip

which ranks up with the best field trips of all time

we got to go to target field

we ate some lunch

learned about where the twins got their start

saw the legends club

we saw lots of memorabilia that has been saved over the years 

we did a short math lesson

where the kids found the perimeter of home plate

and measured their strike zone

we went on the field

and down in the dugout

we even got to see what the locker rooms look like

we ended with a visit to the champions club

we learned so many facts about target field that i didn't know!

i wish the tour would've lasted for another few hours!

i could've spent the entire afternoon exploring!

thanks for letting me come along, alex!

oreo love ... continued

i've been looking and looking

and FINALLY i found them

and they are exactly as i imagined ...

amazing!

evidence of a weekend well spent

cousin fun * in pictures

ellie 'blinking' ...

traveling companions

ellie sure enjoyed having a few extra passengers in her car this weekend

and truth be told ...

i think the passengers had a little fun too

concert on the deck

it's kind of like a concert in the park

except that the performer was 

our very own favorite sax player 

thanks for the evening entertainment, ben!
