Indianapolis Indians Game - PLAY BALL!!!!!

We made it back to an Indians game for Lola's big night. She got to go down to the field and into the dugout. They gave her a baseball from the dugout.


You can see where are seats were for this game - 8th row behind home plate. Sophie is in red shirt and Brian is wearing yellow hat.



Rowdy giving Lola a high five.



Lola doing what Lola does best....playing in the dirt...she just couldn't resist.

This is during the National Anthem. Notice the quartet in the background singing. Lola moved out to the grass and sat down to clean the dirt out from between her toes (from playing in the dirt.)



Getting Ready

Hello Everyone...this is Lola Matthews.

PLAY BALL!!!!

Dentist Appointment

Lola had never been to the dentist and Sophie hasn't been since we moved from Florida. So we found a pediatric dentist office that came recommended from several sources. They even took pictures of the girls with their new dentist and gave them to us.

Library Dino Egg Project

The library's summer reading program was themed around dinosaurs this year. One of the projects they had was to make a dinosaur craft or draw a dino picture that can be displayed during the summer program. The best craft would win a special prize. The girls and I made reading dino eggs out of paper mache.

This is one of Lola's eggs reading "The Study of Ballet for Dinosaurs."

Here is Mommy's egg reading "The Life of a Readasaurus."

Sophie's egg is reading "The Mystery of the Missing Dinosaur Egg."

So can you tell what kind of books we like to read?



Here are the girls with their egg basket before they turned it in.
They wanted to take a picture of Mommy with her dino egg.

Indianapolis Indians Game - RAINOUT!!!

While waiting in line at Meijer I entered the girls names in a drawing to win tickets to an Indianapolis Indians Baseball game. About a week later, I get a phone call and Lola's name had been drawn. She won 4 tickets (great seats - 5th row back behind home plate), $25 in vouchers to spend at ball park, and she got to say "PLAY BALL" on the big screen to start the game. WOW! I had no idea what I was signing up for. Mommy made the girls some Indians shirts and we were off to the big game. Alas, it wasn't meant to be this day. We walked thru downtown in the pouring rain to get to the stadium and wait for an hour for the game to be called on account of weather. She did get to reschedule her big moment however. Those pictures will follow soon!





Waiting for the rain to stop.


...buy me some peanuts...

Morse Beach

We went to the very small beach at Morse Reservoir. It was nice though, not crowded at all. The girls made all kinds of friends to play with and Mommy soaked up some rays.


Here they are sitting in the hole they dug.

Forest Park


We didn't go to Forest Park all that much (no monkey bars) but it was nice to mix things up a bit and go somewhere different. The girls really enjoyed playing in the sand.

The Top of the Slide





Lola had sand in her mouth in this picture.


She made Mommy's stomach do flips watching her spin and spin and spin.
