Happy Father's Day!

Well, we have had a busy weekend! Not to be outdone by our escapades at the Race for the Cure on Saturday, we went to the Carolina Mudcats game in a Girl Scouts-sponsored "Take Your Dad to the Ballgame" event in Zebulon on Father's Day. Kennedy wanted to go in celebration of Dad's Day, and we all willingly went to check out yet another sports team in the Triangle! Kennedy's best friend, Savannah, and her family also went to the game, and we all got to sit together.

We arrived at 1:00 p.m. for a 2:00 p.m. game, got our hot dog, chips, and soda, bought a stuffed Muddy the Mudcat doll and sat back for an afternoon of baseball and sunshine! We all got a bit sunburned and we drank a lot of lemonade, soda, water, and (in Mark's case) beer. At the end of the game (the Mudcats lost, btw), the kids were able to go out on the field and run the bases! Kennedy, Savannah, and Savannah's brother, James all ran the bases before we left for home.

Once home, Mark and I took quick showers (Holly Springs is in the middle of a water emergency due to a water main break, so we're not supposed to be using water) and waited for Serena and Sam to get home for dinner. Then we grilled chicken, made a Caeser salad, and enjoyed dinner together -- well, almost together -- the kids went to the pool to rinse off in lieu of showers, so they ate after Mark and I were done. :) All-in-all, it was a great weekend!
