Louisville Trip

Hello! Sorry for the blogging drought. No excuse really, just enjoying our last few days of Summer vacation. It's hard to believe we only have two weeks left. We decided to take one last little trip before school starts. We've been keeping busy by going to the pool, library, park, etc. We decided to go away for the weekend and it worked our perfectly. It was a whirlwind trip, but way worth it. The kids had a blast, we got to see a new city, hang out with a good friend, and watch some baseball! We went to Louisville, KY where our friend Adam plays for the Louisville Bats. They are a AAA affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. He gave us the grand tour of their clubhouse, where the kids got to try on his Jersey and eat some of the candy they have there for the players. How cool is that? Then we got to PLAY of the field! Even me! Hey... I'm terrible, but at least I have fun. The boys were ecstatic having played little league this year and then getting to run the bases and have a "REAL" baseball player play catch with them. My husband even hit one out of the park... :) How impressive! We got to go to the Louisville Slugger museum as well. That's where I got my picture taken with Cal! Guess who else was there? AMERICAN IDOL! They were filming there already for next season. Louisville was their first stop for auditions. Sad to say this.... I'm too old to try out. Sigh. They need an old person idol, I suppose. I kept waiting to see Ryan Seacrest, but nope, never did. Oh well. Anyways, we saw three games while we were there. Adam played great and got lots of hits. It's fun for our family to have someone to cheer for. We pulled in about 2 am on Monday morning. We were worn out and exhausted, but we all came home with a lot of memories. It's really fun to visit a different city. In fact, we think we might just pick one to visit every summer. The boys are growing up so fast, and it is great to be able to have these memories to look back on. Thanks for reading.
