Lego Land

Last weekend my family I went to Chicago to go to Lego Land and do some school clothes shopping.  Lego Land was really fun.  They have an area where they have a tons of legos and you get to build whatever you want and race it against the other people there.  They also have a couple of rooms full of things made from legos. One is a model of Chicago.  It is amazing.   Our hotel had an enormous pool we played at Sunday morning after having breakfast.

Birthday Baseball Game

Jack had a family baseball game last week to celebrate his birthday.  I couldn't play but I had a great time helping get ready for the party and helping at the party.  We had team shirts, music, a concession stand with bottles of coke, peanuts, popcorn, baby ruths, soft pretzels, nachos, burgers, hot dogs and homemade baseball cookies.  It was awesome.

My nana and I were in charge of the score board and the music.  Jack wanted us to play "Another One Bites the Dust" during outs, "That the Way I Like It" for homeruns, "Chasing the Sun" when he batted and "Go Cubs Go" for the warm ups.

My brother asked my mom to make him a baseball cake.

Jack pitched an inning using his "fast ball".  This is him after he struck one of my friends out.

Julia got the first hit of the day.
