Go Cubs Go!

We started out having a wonderful Monday. Ryan's brother and his family were coming to visit. Doug, Mel, and Jackson rolled in around 5 on Monday evening, and our adventure began. We had such a great time playing with Jackson (and Doug and Mel). Tuesday night Ben woke up with fever, so Wednesday morning they had to leave. We were bummed but understood Jackson couldn't be around Ben since he had a fever! At least we got to spend a little time with them, it is something we will always treasure! So Wednesday we were having a low moment, so I decided to kick us into gear and found Cubs tickets. HAving lived up here almost 1 year, the boys have never been to a Cubs game. We wished Doug and Mel could still be with us, but the Cubs game came within a close second of them. The Cubs didn't win, but we had a great time. Or at least I can say, the boys settled down in the 3rd inning when they got cotton candy and popcorn. This is a great way to celebrate Ryan's birthday! We will celebrate his real birthday today with deep dish pizza, presents, and cake! Ryan wanted a Tres Leche cake, it is my first time to make it, so I will let you know how it turns out! Thank you Doug and Mel for driving across country to see us, we love you to pieces!

Boys looking up to the upper deck to see the people. We had great seats. There were lots of balls that came our direction.

Yes, anytime we go to a baseball game, we were full uniform. Both boys wore uniform head to toe!

It was worth the long walk to the field to see the boys face light up when they saw Wrigley Field. They couldn't get over the bright lights and people. We didn't get to sing the Cubs song. They lost, plus we didn't stay until the very end.
