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.

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.

Lola Learning to Ride on 2 Wheels

Lola wanted to try her bike without training wheels. We tried for a while before Daddy got home but Mommy's back was killing her from holding on and running up and down the sidewalk. So we tried again with Daddy's help. Soph decided to take pictures this attempt.

Here Daddy is explaining how its done.

Billericay Park

Sophie was so proud this summer. She finally got the "hang" of the monkey bars!

One of our many fun days at the park!

Shane's Soccer Game

Shane's team played several games up here in Noblesville. I was excited I finally got to see him play!

Most of these pictures were taken by the girls. They found the soccer game to be boring so I had to find something for them to do so I could watch Shane play.

Sophie wanted a picture of Cindy and I with the heart shaped leaf she gave us.

Beautiful Lola and the Beautiful Sky
