Never a Dull Moment: Some Summer.....

The past week has been a crazy one for us.....my kids have been so lucky to have two amazing experiences. The first was last week. Scott was able to score some fantastic seats for the Cubs game. The kids hadn't been to a night game before, so they were pumped up. We didn't tell them that we would be sitting front row on the dugout....seeing their faces light up was truly such a memorable moment. The night only got better....the players gave the kids gum, sunflower seeds, and each got a baseball, not to mention we were on TV. It was one of those times I couldn't tell you what was happening during the game because I was watching my kids faces the whole time, and I loved it. Thanks Scott! The second thing was that a very, very, very nice guy happened to be stopping at my parents to sign my brothers' football jersey. I was asked to bring my camera and snap some pics. The kids not only got to meet a NFL player, but tried on his RING....Tyler talked his ear off about being a Packer fan(so not the thing to tell a Patriot!) while Hailey totally hid behind my legs being shy. By the end of the visit she had warmed up and was giving him high fives. Again just seeing their faces and reactions was priceless. I am so grateful that my kids are able to have these opportunities. What memorable moments that were captured on camera.(and thanks to friends who took pics of us on TV). It has been a great start to our summer....
