Last Saturday, Brian and I took the kids to a Kane County Cougars game (our local minor league baseball team...the field is less than 10 minutes from our house!) and Connie, Brian's mom joined us. It was great, although we all laughed that we really didn't see much of the game. They have a few blow-up "rides" for kids to play on, which of course, Hannah couldn't wait to get on! So, we spent about 3 innings watching her play and she loved it! Ellie wanted to love it and attempted to go in the moonwalk, jumping thing, but changed her mind as soon as her big toe entered it! Hannah graciously took Ellie's turn for her! Ellie simply enjoyed watching all of the kids get crazy! We sat on the lawn and decided that was definitely the place to be with little kids. The girls could walk/run around and we didn't have to worry about them kicking the person in front of them if we had sat in regular seats! Hannah even made a little friend and played catch with her for a while. Unfortunately, we didn't last for the fireworks at the end of the game, but nonetheless, we enjoyed our little family outing! :O)
On Monday, I took the kids to the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville. It was a rainy morning and I had a coupon, so I thought, what a perfect time to go! Well, apparently all of the moms in Naperville thought the same thing! It was packed! As soon as I pulled into the parking lot, I tried to change Hannah's mind about going in, telling her that it was going to be SO busy and she'd have to wait in line to do stuff. I even tried bribing her with a trip to Barnes and Noble...it didn't work. And, to tell you the truth, it didn't turn out too bad. It was certainly crowded, but as long as I knew where the girls were at all times, it really didn't seem that crazy. Bottom line...I didn't lose anyone and they had a fabulous time!
