Aztec Baseball Trip 2009

J.R., the lucky dog, just got back from a trip back east with the Aztecs. He has gone with the team, my dad, and my brother for several years now. It's something he looks forward to every summer.

They left last Monday and flew to Baltimore. They went to Baltimore, NY, New Jersey, Washington DC, and Philadelphia. They got to go to Gettysburg, the sites in DC, the liberty bell, and 5 major league ball parks. He got a home run baseball. He loved every minute of it, especially the $5 hot dogs, his claim to fame is eating 16 of them while on the trip. Here are some pics:

Fun Filled Day

Wow, what a full day. We were running from one fun activity to another all day long, but that makes for fun memories.

We started the day bright and early with the 4th of July parade in Lewiston at 9:00. Traeson was obviously not ready to get started this early after the late night at the fireworks.

Maizee loved the parade. Typical of her style, she was amazed by the sirens and anything fast and loud.

Then we hit the Lewiston town carnival for some rides for the kids. The balloon ride took you up and then dropped you down really fast. Traeson and Dodee thought it was great. Maizee loved watching them, but soon was zonked out.

Taylor had a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. She played with a couple of her friends in the boys category. She was actually the only girl in the entire tournament, and held her own against the big bad boys. They did a great job and won the championship game. They got T-shirts and new basketballs.

After a brief rest we were on to the car show and cruise in.

Traeson and Dodee couldn't get enough. We gave them a camera and told them to take a picture of their favorite car. 219 pictures later we left.Here are their top 3:

Fireworks 2009

We went to the fireworks. We sat a Lundstrom Park as usual. The kids love going there, they can play ball, eat pizza, and goof off for a couple hours before the fireworks start. Maizee loved the red liquorice as you can see, it's all over her face.



The kids loved the fireworks. Maizee was fasinated by them. She couldn't get close enough, she kept reaching out and trying to grab them.

Apparently, Maizee gets her attention span from her Daddy, neither of them made it through the entire 15 minute show.

The longest part of the night was the car ride home. It took us over an hour to drive the 5 miles back to our house! All in all, it was a great night!

Maizee's First Trip to the Pool

Maizee loved the pool. She splashed and splashed, drank some water, and even had a few close calls, but she thought it was the coolest thing ever!

She played with Dad.

Tay tried to drown her!

And the BEST part was the PIZZA!
