All Star Weekend of FUN

We did so much this past weekend, I don't know how we fit it all in. Somehow we managed to and it was a blast.
1st we decided to head out to Aunt Val & Uncle Johns house for a visit. Then as evening neared mommy really wanted to go downtown and see the concert Sheryl Crow was putting on to kick off the MLB All Star weekend. And man can she put on a concert. We had an absolute blast dancing and singing. She came back on stage two times after the concert was supposed to be over and we were surprised by yet more beautiful fireworks. The girls got to ride the MetroLink for the 1st time and enjoy their first concert.
Sunday started off kinda rainy and we didn't really have much planned, but then daddy called and said he had tickets to the All Star FanFest so off we went to meet up with him and head back downtown to that. It was really neat. All the memorobilia and world series trophies. Kaitlyn ran the bases with uncle Ryan and even slid into home. Kiera ran the mini bases with mommy. And mama Sheryl, Uncle Ryan & Mommy all gave pitching a whirl and got to see how slow they could throw. Kaitlyn got to hit off the tee and sit in the All Star corvette. We even got our own trading cards made. All of us brought home great goodies and had a great time.
Then Monday rolls around and we really didn't have anything planned but the weather was too georgious to be inside and Mama Sheryl suggested going to Grants farm. They were getting in on the All Star action as well with good deals and discounts. So we get to Grants Farm and it was not a busy place at all it was a very nice and relaxing day Riding the tram 2 times around the park!, checking out all the animals, taking in a bird show and and admiring the famious Clydsdales. What a great day! We hope you enjoy the pics of our fun filled weekend...

  1. Cute pictures. It was a fun filled weekend. I agree with you how did we fit it all in. It is Tuesday at 7:00 am I am looking at your pics and then going to lay back down. Not like me but thats what I am going to do. The girls were really good this weekend. It was fun wathching them at the concert. I really enjoyed sheryl Crow, I always wanted to see her. All was fun from the concert to the fanfest, grants farm. I liked all the pics. The one of Kaitlyn eating the snow cone is adorable. I also really liked the wishing well ones. It was funny how Kaitlyn really didn't want to have anything to do with the goats and Kiera counld of stayed there all day and played with them. Truly a memorable weekend. Thanks for the pics Grandma
